The idea of maps as more than simply direction-givers is taken to the extreme in this collection of abstract cartography. Featuring the projects of different designers (including the Center for Urban Pedagogy and Brooke Singer of Superfund365, both previously covered in these pages), the maps in the atlas range in subject from New York's garbage-removal system to the secret CIA rendition flights. They may not help you navigate the roads, but they will help you navigate the information of the world around you.$30an-atlas.com
