"I especially appreciate the "connections" between
maps and meanings. These clearly go beyond what is
typically taught and thought about, and make the book
unique in its field. Highly recommended."

discussed a number of projections I had known nothing

“… absolutely the best
introduction available on map projections, their history
and importance. The appendix’s summary of 14
projections - their strengths and weaknesses - is
probably worth the price of the book. The text weaves
the theory and history of maps-at-large - from mental
maps to amateur work to high cartography - into a
seamless thematic whole.…erudite and invigorating…
satisfying and illuminating…”
