Bring your data to life with this essential guide to storytelling with maps. From scraping patterns in sand to drawing intricate lines on vellum and paper, to charting every place on the planet, humans have used maps as a powerful storytelling medium. The advent of the digital age has revolutionized the creation, distribution, and consumption of maps. The web created enormous opportunities for storytelling, enabling maps to dance and weave, partnering with other multimedia elements—photos, video, audio, text—to tell countless tales about our world. Featuring a foreword by renowned travel writer and cofounder of Lonely Planet Tony Wheeler, Telling Stories with Maps: Lessons from a Lifetime of Creating Place-Based Narratives bridges both analog and digital realms, showcasing how maps themselves tell stories and enrich narratives by providing context and insight. Richly illustrated with examples from traditional maps to the latest digital visualizations, this book is an essential guide for anyone interested in the powerful storytelling potential of maps. Allen Carroll leads an editorial team at Esri that publishes ArcGIS StoryMaps and supports a global community of storytellers who have used StoryMaps to create millions of multimedia narratives.  Before joining Esri, Carroll spent 27 years at the National Geographic Society, designing scores of maps for its renowned magazine and other publications. Carroll spearheaded the creation of the Seventh and Eighth editions of the World Atlas; the publication of many new web resources and other special projects featuring biodiversity, conservation, and indigenous cultures; and numerous other projects. After joining Esri in 2010, Caroll founded its StoryMaps team, which developed web tools that enabled hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations to tell place-based stories combining interactive maps and multimedia content.

A first-of-its-kind practical manual for millennials and Gen Zers taking on positions of power, from Amanda Litman, cofounder of Run for Something. "A refreshingly candid, delightfully irreverent guide to leadership for the next generation. Amanda Litman busts some major myths about how to succeed at the helm. Get ready to rethink some of your basic assumptions about authenticity, productivity, and professionalism." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re: Thinking Most leadership books treat millennials and Gen Z like nuisances to manage around, focusing on how leaders from older generations can fit young people into their existing corporate cultures. Not this one. When We're In Charge is a no-bullshit guide for the next generation of leaders on how to show up differently, break the cycle of bad boomer leadership, and navigate the changing demands of those in power and the evolving expectations people have of their workplace. Based on author Amanda Litman's experience as a founder and executive (and mom of two who's trying desperately to have a life outside of work), and informed by conversations with more than 100 next-gen leaders across politics, business, media, tech, education, and more -- and including people like Versha Sharma, editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue; Maxwell Frost, first Gen Z member of Congress; and Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap Inc -- this book is a vital resource for new leaders trying to figure out how to get stuff done without making your team or yourself miserable. When We're in Charge offers solutions for sticky challenges like how to be yourself without giving your full self to your role; how to think about social media when your team sees what you post; and how to set up guardrails for work-life balance.Litman also offers arguments on why a four-day work week is the future; why transparency is a powerful tool that can do real damage if not wielded with intention; and why it matters for you, the boss, to both provide and take family leave. A necessary read for all who occupy or aspire to leadership roles, When We're in Charge is a vision for a future where leaders at work, in communities, and across the country are compassionate, genuine, and effective.
