This review is from: The Geographical Imagination in America, 1880-1950 (Paperback)
S. Schultens book is a great choice for those who are interested in understanding how political, cultural and social imperatives shape ideas about geography and space and how those ideas influence American history and culture. Her study deals specifically with the role of mapmakers, academic and school geography and the National Geographic Society in influencing popular conceptions of global geography from the end of the XIX century up to the 2º World War. These different institutions allowed Americans to make sense of a complex world, through the use of different spatial strategies.
A highly recommended book for those interested in mental maps, metageographies, and popular geopolitics and imagined geographies. Very well illustrated and abundant references and end notes.

This is a fantastic book for your coffee table. After purchase, imagine snuggling up with your significant other and leafing through a tome full of maps. After you are done with the tome, play a game of mental map imagery!The Marylanders: Without Shelter or a Crumb
