These revised papers from the eponymous symposium held in Austria in 2011 detail the latest transdisciplinary techniques for mapping non-physical and non-human geographies. The subjects range from maps in exhibition spaces to interpreting mapped data.

- Exploring geographic knowledge
- Maps in exhibition spaces
- Information and exhibition design with (geo)graphic artefacts
- Extracting meaning from visualisations of different geographies
- Deconstructing maps of information - and other spaces
