This book departs from typical cartography textbooks, which tend to
focus on the characteristics of the methods and means of
expression. Instead, it offers an explanation of the individual
perspective on the map as a specific product of civilization, one
that constitutes a component of social communication. The layout
highlights the essential property of cartographic notation, namely:
the way of forming the map's content elements, adjusted to its
purpose. This property is ensured thanks to the dimension of
reference units in relation to the observation scale of the
objects, and by topological consistency between the reference units
system and real layout of the objects. An exploration of the
characteristics of various ways of depicting a map's content
elements, organized in the reference units dimension, is preceded
by a general section accentuating the position of cartography among
other sciences, as well as the definition and general properties of
a map. The book's closing chapter includes a separate textbook
overview of the applications of taxonomic methods in cartography.
