Customer Reviews:
Intensive beginner
By A Kid's Review - August 3, 2010This book is extremely well written and is based on sound sources, and not least structured and academic character.
The book is for readers who already have knowledge of cartography, but also suitable for beginners, although the book is intensive for the reader without prior knowledge of cartography.
All readers can use the book as a chronological review of the use of maps, and also use the book as a reference when knowledge must be clarified or refreshed.
The book moves only briefly into the making of maps, but is primary focused on the use of maps. The chronological review of the historical development offers an excellent comprehensive description, which is complemented by a wide range of more peripheral historical contexts.
The notes are extensive and lead to the book can subsequently be used as an excellent reference book while the new reader can seem overwhelming with the many comprehensive notes, wich than can be "saved" for later reading.
A compact but good overview of mapping
By A. A. C. Kiefer "visual designer" - March 10, 2013It can be hard to get an overview on how maps are actually interlinked to cultures and civilizations. This book gives a great overview in the history of the cultures, civilizations and their maps. From strwas and shells signifying waves and tidal patterns, to more litteral visual mapping styles that we are used to. It gives a gat insight into a phenomenon that is so closely linked to charting our cultural and political endeavors.
Color would be a nice addition, if only to enjoy the richness of maps!
A good and intesting read.
