Lewis Baston's Borderlines
Lewis Baston's Borderlines is a very interesting and topical look at the unseen factors that determine our political landscape. Baston shows how the lines we create and who gets to draw them have a big effect on power, representation, and identity, from election boundaries to national frontiers.
Borderlines mixes political history, geography, and keen analysis to show that every map tells a story of control, compromise, and disputed space. Anyone who wants to know how democracy actually works or doesn't should read this.
