Cartography, Paperback by Field, Kenneth, ISBN 1589484398, ISBN-13 9781589484399, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Field presents a compendium of design thinking for mapmakers who did not come to the profession through academic cartography, and so do not have a bookshelf of references to dip into for answers or inspiration. The alphabetical organization of th mirrors the mapmaking process, he says, by being nonlinear; it allows readers to find discussions of particular aspects easily without having to track them down in a narrative. Among the categories of information are visual grammar, math for mapmakers, working with data, map types, mapping themes, and exemplar maps. Annotation ©2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
