Recenzii
"Making Maps explains the power of cartographic design through a visually engaging style that encourages critical thinking and reflection. It provides a source of inspiration, motivation, and practical knowledge, empowering map makers with the essential guidance they need to make maps, as well as key examples that demonstrate when conventions should be set aside. Because the authors do not hew to any specific software or technology, the book has broad, lasting utility for map makers at all levels."--Anthony C. Robinson, PhD, Department of Geography, The Pennsylvania State University
"The advantage of this text is that the variety of examples and mapped data allow you to engage students in conversations about different cultural or philosophical approaches to mapping. It is an excellent introductory resource for students who are new to mapping. The book covers all the essential topics, with excellent visual examples, consideration of different map audiences and map purposes, and an emphasis on map design that makes it relevant no matter what mapping software you use."--Melinda Shimizu, PhD, Department of Geography, State University of New York at Cortland
"Making Maps is a gorgeous introduction to cartographic design and geovisual storytelling. Its quality means that I have a difficult time deciding which class gets the pleasure to read it. Making Maps is compelling for a cartography class, but also outside of a class for anyone who wants to learn how best to make and understand maps.”--Nathan Burtch, PhD, Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University
"This book is very useful for helping students understand the driving questions behind communicating geographic information, such as 'Who is my audience?' and 'What is my message?' It also addresses questions about how to design and style maps--for example, 'Which projection should I use?' Students find the playful tone and interesting examples to be quite engaging--I have not heard a single complaint about the text."--Blake Walker, PhD, Institute of Geography, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen–Nürnberg, Germany
"Krygier and Wood’s text encourages critical thinking rather than absorbing information--and that made it by far the best choice for my cartographic design course. The mix of visual approaches, including the graphic novella, appeals to a broad mix of students."--Barbara Trapido-Lurie, MA, Research Professional Emerita, School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning, Arizona State University-
