Earth is not the only planet with intelligent human life. For many millennia, advanced humans from Completed Worlds have monitored the technological development of humans on other less advanced planets across the universe, including Earth. Each Developing World always has five Watchers from Completed Worlds, who are assigned to live on the planet and monitor its progress. The Watchers work under the strict direction of a Universal MAXIM to anonymously observe and report and never interfere with the native humans. Earth was Developing at a great pace until a band of Universal terrorists, known as Takers, damaged the Earth with large asteroids, flooding the planet and killing nearly all its population. The largest asteroid in the attack was miraculously caught into the Earth's orbit, becoming a second moon. Rogue Watcher, the next installment of the Second Moon Trilogy, picks up where Alpine Tide left off. The stakes are higher than ever as eighteen-year-old Miriam Madsen and her fellow survivors face new threats from across the Universe. To avoid their certain destruction, Watcher 3 of Earth, known locally as Spence, will stop at no length to protect Miriam, the woman he loves--even if it means going rogue.

ISBN: 160623708X

A contemporary follow-up to the groundbreaking Power of Maps, this book takes a fresh look at what maps do, whose interests they serve, and how they can be used in surprising, creative, and radical ways. Denis Wood describes how cartography facilitated the rise of the modern state and how maps continue to embody and project the interests of their creators. He demystifies the hidden assumptions of mapmaking and explores the promises and limitations of diverse counter-mapping practices today. Thought-provoking illustrations include U.S. Geological Survey maps; electoral and transportation maps; and numerous examples of critical cartography, participatory GIS, and map art.
