"This book develops and encourages you to inhabit - through narratives or spatialized experiences - Deep Maps of places you want to understand in a robust, inclusive, and expansive ways, which is not possible with traditional mapping. Maps tell you more about yourself, the narratives you construct, and the values you explicitly or implicitly hold, than they do about an actual place. To get an understanding of an actual place, one must inhabit its multiple overlapping contradictory stories simultaneously. To this end, we began to construct Deep Maps. We were inspired by the American author, William Least Heat-Moon's book PrairyErth, and the way that he invisions a written or narrative Deep Map of a place"--Page 4 of cover.
