	All Mapped Out: How Maps Shape Us by Mike Duggan 2024 \| Reaktion Books From cave paintings to Google, a thought-provoking investigation of how maps do not just reflect the world around us, but shape the way we live.
	Drink Maps in Victorian Britain by Kris Butler 2024 \| Bodleian Library Publishing What is a “drink map”? It may sound like a pub guide, yet it refers to a type of late nineteenth-century British map designed to shock and shame people into drinking less.
	The Globe: How the Earth Became Round by James Hannam 2024 \| Reaktion Books An accessible challenge to long-established beliefs about the history of ideas, The Globe shows how the realization that our planet is a sphere deserves to be considered the first great scientific achievement.
	Shelter: An Atlas Crowdsourced 2023 \| Guerrilla Cartography Shelter: An Atlas is a collection of maps on the theme of shelter, collaboratively created by the Guerrilla Cartography community. The “An Atlas” series is a trilogy of the three basic needs for survival: food, water, shelter. The earlier two volumes (Food: An Atlas and Water: An Atlas) have previously been reviewed in CP.
	Pittsburgh in 50 Maps By Stentor Danielson 2025 \| Belt Publishing There may be countless ways to map a city, but (according to Paul Simon) only 50 ways to leave your lover. Pittsburgh in 50 Maps offers 50 unique new views of a city at a crossroads—culturally, economically, and demographically. Each colorful map offers a new perspective on one of America’s most consistently surprising cities and the people who live here.
