 * Everything Sings: Maps for a Narrative Atlas**. Denis Wood. Siglio Press, 2010.

Excerpt from publisher: "Denis Wood has created an atlas unlike any other. Surveying Boylan Heights, his small neighborhood in North Carolina, he subverts the traditional notions of mapmaking to discover new ways of seeing both this place in particular and the nature of place itself. Each map attunes the eye to the invisible, the overlooked, and the seemingly insignificant."
