Abstrakt: The book "Motion in Maps. Maps in Motion. Mapping Stories and Movement through Time" explores the relationship between maps and narratives, focusing on the representation of motion and temporality in cartography. The book examines various attempts to visualize narratives, flows, and processes that were previously considered "unmappable" due to their subjectivity and complexity. It also discusses the connection between cartography and storytelling, highlighting the narrative potential of maps. The book includes case studies and analyses of different types of maps, providing a deeper understanding of their content and function. While the print quality of the illustrations could be improved, the book offers valuable theoretical insights and analytical methods for studying maps in relation to motion and time.
