I especially love this piece by Matthew Cusick titled “Fiona’s Wave,” 2005. It's created by collaging maps from geography books.
And this map of Europe (complete with Italy's boot!) by Corriette Schoenaerts (“Europe,” 2005).

What a great post. To make it even better, I am in Italy, and just returned from boot shopping, so I am truly finding it perfecto.
Great idea; looks like a great book. Love the "art" in "cartography."
The excerpt from Katherine Harmon's essay is eloquent and smart, too. I'm particularly struck by the her Harmon's comment about how cartographers are selective about what they show. As with photographers, cartographers exercise judgement, edit / skew, and have a point of view.
