"The authors write authoritatively and crisply . . . . How to use
maps in teaching is spelled out carefully, but the authors also
manage to sketch in the background of American mapping so the book
is both a manual and a history. Commentaries are sprinkled with
stimulating new ideas, for instance on how to use bird's-eye views
and country atlases in the classroom, and there are didactic
discussions on maps showing the walking city and the impact of the
street car.
"An extraordinarily wide range of maps is depicted, which makes for
good browsing, pondering and close study. . . . This is a very
good, highly attractive, and worthwhile book; it will have great
impact on the use of old (and new!) maps in teaching. As well, this
is a tantalizing survey of mapping the United States and will whet
the appetites of students and encourage them to learn more about
maps and their origins."--John Warketin, "Cartographica"
