Elements Of Cartography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
It is a very good entry level cartography book that is needed for GIS students. Though i'd say 1995 is a bit old
Good for teaching
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Is a very good book for help to teachers in cartography classroom. Good examples. Goods ilustrations. Good structure. Althoug is a old book is updated. Its have a part for GIS and not forget the traditional cartography process. Just a problem that I can see, its not have a luxurous edition althoug the price is high.
Cartography - must have title
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is very valuable source of information for anyone wanting to learn or refresh his knowledge of cartographic principles. Great variety of topics is covered in details and well illustrated so understanding of topics should not be too difficult to grasp. It is a little bit weak on modern GIS systems section and cartographic capabilities of those. It is understandable since it is 10 years old now. It would be good to have more pictures in the full colour section. This book is used as a reference book for lot of other materials and for a good reason.
Still recognized as an important text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The sixth edition of "Elements" was published in 1995, and reviewers familiar with the advances in cartographic technology would be familiar with the great upheaval the field was going through at that time. Work on a seventh edition of this seminal text is currently underway, which should bring the content of the book up to par with recent changes. The book remains an important source of information for both the novice and seasoned cartographer.
