Map Use: Reading, Analysis, Interpretation, eighth edition is a comprehensive, foundational textbook designed for the college curriculum. With a section on map interpretation, Map Use provides students with the knowledge and skills to read and understand maps, and offers professional cartographers a thorough reference resource.

Nearly 600 full-color maps, photographs, and graphs illustrate the concepts behind communicating with maps, while PowerPoint slides (available through the book resource page at https://links.esri.com/MapUseSlides) further support use of the text in the classroom.

The book renders basic cartographic principles accessible to all, from students of cartography and map design to those without a formal education in geography. Accommodating new developments in GPS and geographic information system technology, Map Use: Reading, Analysis, Interpretation, eighth edition can serve as an excellent introductory GIS text.



Classic cartographic textbook updated to reflect what's going on with cartography today. New information on designing web maps, using cartography-related web concepts, and updating data sources with imagery and remote sensing.

Arvustused

As a full course or a series of mini lessons, this book is surely one the reviewer likes having on her shelf and has recommended and will continue to recommend to others. For the expert who is not teaching classes, there are jewels in the book that can simply convey important mapping concepts to build common ground with inquisitive friends, family, or that cross disciplinary colleague who never really thought much more of maps than they are pretty pictures.
