Summary:
Understanding map design is important for cartographic communication.
Cartographic Design: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives examines
how map design is integrated with modern views of information and
graphic communication in both the applied and theoretical senses.
Eminent cartographers from around the world discuss the grammar and
the syntax of the cartographic language in light of recent
theoretical, practical and technological developments within the
broad context of cartographic design. Special attention is placed on
the opportunities, challenges and the responses cartographers are
facing that have been created by the new technologies in the
information era. Written by some of the world's leading authorities
in the field of cartography, this book makes essential reading for
practising and academic cartographers, GIS professionals and those
who are interested in the logic of map design.
