The use of computers in cartography has made it a lot easier for
map makers to transform data from one map projection to another and
experiment with alternative representations of geographical data.
Yet this has also created new challenges and opportunities for map
projection scientists. Small Scale Map Projection Design focuses on
numerical map projection research, and is written from the
perspective of the map projection user. It demonstrates how
advances in the measurement of map projection distortion and in the
development of low error map projections can help map makers decide
what type of map projection is best for their purpose, and shows
how they can eventually design their own tailor-made map
projections. A number of significant contributions have been made
to the subject over recent decades, and these are reviewed along
with a substantial amount of original, unpublished material. This
theoretical material is tied to practical applications and issues
such as map projection use, optimization and selection, which are
far too often carried out with simple rules-of-thumb methods.
