This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (And Why It Matters) is a popular geography and cartography book by the Map Men, the creative partnership of Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones. Known for combining geographical explanation with comedy on YouTube, they bring the same interest in odd borders, misleading diagrams, and historical mapmaking mistakes to a printed format. The book focuses on maps that are inaccurate, absurd, politically loaded, or unexpectedly consequential, ranging from old colonial surveys and Soviet mapping to modern media graphics and commercial maps. Its purpose is not simply to laugh at mistakes, but to show how maps reflect the assumptions, limits, ambitions, and blind spots of the people who make and use them. By treating flawed maps as evidence rather than trivia, the book introduces readers to cartographic thinking in an accessible way. It belongs to the category of humorous popular nonfiction, but its deeper subject is map literacy and the practical importance of questioning visual representations of the world.
