5 out of 5 stars Best Cartography Textbook .......2005-12-18

I teach beginning and advanced cartography, and this is the textbook I use. It features up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of cartographic theory and practice.

It is not tied to any particular software (such as ArcGIS). This could be a minus if you are trying to teach yourself. It is also quite expensive. However, it can be used in multiple courses.

Book Description

This comprehensive book bridges the evolution in cartography by presenting both traditional methods and recently developed computer-based cartographic techniques. Covers a range of mapping methods, including traditional univariate mapping methods; recently developed approaches for visualizing spatial data; and bivariate and multivariate mapping techniques. The book also emphasizes computer-based symbolization reflecting the shift toward technology. This discussion covers hardware considerations in map production, the use of digital methods for interpolating between point locations on isarithmic maps, how digital methods of GIS and remote sensing assist in creating dot and dasymetric maps, and tools programmers can use to develop their own software. It also presents the relationship between statistical and graphical methods. Finally, the book provides sources to help readers locate the software mentioned throughout the book. An essential resource for any professional who would benefit from methods of presenting data visually, rather than numerically.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Geography Textbook I've ever read. Ever........2000-02-26

This book: an excellent example of a work fueld by the academic's interest in the subject, and not his career ambitions. Technical and for the person well-informed in the minutiae of cartographic design, this book is the fountain head of information on technique, method and management of thematic mapping, drawing on a wide range of resource material and sources. Concise, un-self conscious, this book will tell the serious cartophile or geography-loving person more than they could ever have thought they could know, with aplomb.
