Andy Woodruff and Nick Swartsell—the editor and cartographer of Cincinnati in 50 maps—were recently interviewed on @wvxu.org! A great interview about the book, storytelling through maps, and the state ot modern cartography. Here’s’ a brief preview!

Hopefully they edited out all of my parts, but nevertheless it was fun to join this conversation about maps and Cincinnati. www.wvxu.org/show/cincinn...
Two books explore Cincinnati in maps
"Cincinnati in 50 Maps" and "Cincinnati's Foodshed: An Art Atlas" illustrate the past and present of Greater Cincinnati.

A great essay collection keeps you engaged on 3 levels at once: unique dissections that offer a new perspective on a given topic, yourself, and humanity at large.

The Trouble with Loving Poets is full of these moments, offering unflinching, modern looks at dog ownership, linguistics, HPV, and more.
