Today's [London] Independent newspaper has an article by Michael
Church:
'The truth about maps: How cartographers distort reality. As a
fascinating new exhibition shows, it's not always what they put in
that matters - but what they leave out'
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/the-
truth-about-maps-how- cartographers-distort-reality-1922806.html
Forming part of the build-up to the 'Magnificent Maps' exhibition
in the British Library from 30 April, this is full of thought-
provoking - and no doubt controversial - quotations from Peter Barber.
This is going to be one of those exhibition that really needs to be
seen, both for the chosen objects and as much for the new
interpretations placed on them.
