Making Maps, Second Edition: A Visual Guide to Map Design for GIS
- Used Book in Good Condition
Acclaimed for its innovative use of visual material, this book is engaging, clear, and compellingâ€”exactly how an effective map should be. Nearly every page is organized around maps and other figures (many in full color) that illustrate all aspects of map making, including instructive examples of both good and poor design choices. The book covers everything from locating and processing data to making decisions about layout, symbols, color, and type. Readers are invited to think critically about both the technical features and social significance of maps as they learn to create better maps of their own.
Â
