McGraw-Hill<BR/><BR/>and more in an entertaining way but still presenting the basics:<BR/>b) Mark Monmonier (1996): How to lie with Maps. <BR/>(there is also a newer book from 2001: Bushmanders & Bullwinkles: How Politicians Manipulate Electronic Maps...)<BR/><BR/>there is also THE engl. classic book of cartography:<BR/>c) AH Robinson et al. (1995): Elements of Cartography<BR/><BR/>further books exists: e.g. by Slocum and McMaster et al (2004): Thematic cartography and geographic visualizationmentaerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337822862621103715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47896653854399647.post-14953432464843319442007-08-14T13:57:00.000+01:002007-08-14T13:57:00.000+01:00Chad,That is such a hard thing to do.

Cartography is a little different, but the digital cartographic angle is a little different.<BR/><BR/>I guess I would look at the ESRI press slim book series, and some good cartographic design or even design books like tufte. But the principle idea would be to educate them better on relationships of space and place, not just how to display data.<BR/><BR/>Aaron W.

I agree that cartographers definately need to grow with the changes. In my graduate school all my cartography classes focussed on digital cartographic methods, but more importantly how to create thematic content using GIS. There is definately a different face to geography.avanwierenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998733180649569792noreply@blogger.com
