In Spying with Maps, the "mapmatician" Mark Monmonier looks at the increased use of geographic data, satellite imagery, and location tracking across a wide range of fields such as military intelligence, law enforcement, market research, and traffic engineering. Could these pervasive forms of geographic monitoring, he asks, lead to grave consequences for society? To assess this very real threat, he explains how geospatial technology works, what it can reveal, who uses it, and to what effect.
Mark Monmonier is Distinguished Professor of Geography at Syracuse University. He is the author or coauthor of twelve books, including most recently Air Apparent and Bushmanders and Bullwinkles, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
