A means for both liberation and control, maps “offer a way of
capturing a
place”, argue Sue Clifford and Angela King in From Place to Place:
Maps and
Parish Maps (Common Ground, £10, ISBN 1 870364 16 3). They have
brought
together excellent writing by naturalists, archaeologists, artists and
“ordinary
people”, all reflecting on who makes maps and why. The result is a powerful
celebration of one of Common Ground’s great ideas of the 1970s, “parish maps”
that show what people value in their own locality.
