This Fourth Edition of Cartography: Visualization of Geospatial
Data serves as an excellent introduction to general cartographic
principles. It is an examination of the best ways to optimize the
visualization and use of spatiotemporal data. Fully revised, it
incorporates all the changes and new developments in the world of
maps, such as OpenStreetMap and GPS (Global Positioning System)
based crowdsourcing, and the use of new web mapping technology and
adds new case studies and examples. Now printed in colour
throughout, this edition provides students with the knowledge and
skills needed to read and understand maps and mapping changes and
offers professional cartographers an updated reference with the
latest developments in cartography. Written by the leading scholars
in cartography, this work is a comprehensive resource, perfect for
senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in GIS
(geographic information system) and cartography. New in This
Edition: Provides an excellent introduction to general cartographic
visualization principles through full-colour figures and images
Addresses significant changes in data sources, technologies and
methodologies, including the movement towards more open data
sources and systems for mapping Includes new case studies and new
examples for illustrating current trends in mapping Provides a
societal and institutional framework in which future mapmakers are
likely to operate, based on UN global development sustainability

Motion in Maps, Maps in Motion argues that the mapping of stories,
movement, and change should not be understood as an innovation of
contemporary cartography, but rather as an important aspect of
human cartography with a longer history than might be assumed. The
authors in this collection reflect upon the main characteristics
and evolutions of story and motion mapping, from the figurative
news and history maps that were mass-produced in early modern
Europe, through the nineteenth- and twentieth-century flow maps
that appeared in various atlases, up to the digital and interactive
motion and personalized maps that are created today. Rather than
presenting a clear and homogeneous history from the past up until
the present, this book offers a toolbox for understanding and
interpreting the complex interplays and links between narrative,
motion, and maps.
This proceedings book presents the first-ever cross-disciplinary
analysis of 16th-20th century South, East, and Southeast Asian
cartography. The central theme of the conference was the mutual
influence of Western and Asian cartographic traditions, and the
focus was on points of contact between Western and Asian
cartographic history. Geographically, the topics were limited to
South Asia, East Asia and Southeast Asia, with special attention to
India, China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia. Topics addressed included
Asia's place in the world, the Dutch East India Company, toponymy,
Philipp Franz von Siebold, maritime cartography, missionary mapping
and cadastral mapping.
