Description
This introduction to cartography uses a highly practical approach and assumes that only basic cartography laboratory facilities are available. Design and symbolization considerations together with an analytic approach to mapmaking are encouraged throughout. Clear and effective maps are shown alongside less clear examples to demonstrate the importance of good design and symbolization. No mathematical or statistical background is required.
