Invisible Lines: Boundaries and Belts That Define the World

Maxim Samson is a geographer, but in this book he deals not with physical borders but "invisible" lines which shape how we act, how we feel and how we live—among them the Arctic tree line, Paris's banlieues and the USA's Bible Belt. He describes and maps how we use 30 such boundaries to understand our planet, exert influence, claim territory, divide "us" from "them", or preserve cultural distinctiveness.
