Cartography

Peter Kohlstock presents in this book an introduction to cartography based on many years of teaching experience, covering everything from the representation of the Earth's surface, through land surveying, map design and production, to map usage. The particularly vivid presentation, enhanced by numerous illustrations, some in color, conveys the essential foundations of this important field for all geoscience programs, serving as a basis for the knowledgeable use of various forms of maps as sources of information and working tools. For the third edition, the text and maps have been extensively updated and revised.
