Cartography : visualization of geospatial data

This revised and updated edition integrates the latest in modern technology with traditional cartographic principles. While providing a solid conceptual foundation in cartographic methodology, the text also introduces the very latest advances that have greatly influenced cartographic techniques. The new edition reflects the increasing importance of cartography as the basis for further geographical study, the text has been updated throughout and chapters on the latest developments in cartography have been integrated. There is also a more widespread emphasis on multimedia and the web.

  • ""This up-to-date book reflects the latest trends in dynamic mapping and geovisualization. Kraak and Ormeling present a through, current discussion of principles and best practies for visualization of spatial data. They explain cartographic theory and provide examples of relevant applications. This is a valuable resource for students new to using GIS for spatial data visualization, as well as for more advanced cartographers interested in furthering their knowledge of principles of dynamic geovisualization design."--Sarah Battersby, Department of Geography, University of South Carolina --"

  • ""The authors have been careful to present to the reader not only a basic understanding of what cartography is but how geospatial data and maps are so integral to many of the disciplines that utilize specific technologies, such as GIS and the WWW, to communicate information....Most chapters include as many pages of graphics as they do text, which is a great benefit to the novice reader."--Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy --"
  • ""The third edition of this popular text adds exciting new material, reflecting significant recent changes in cartography. These include the rapid growth of personal location-based services, the launch of Google Earth and Google Maps and their competitors, and the advances that have been made in the science of geovisualization. Maps are now a standard part of everyone's digital world and essential accessories to modern life. This book will be invaluable as a classroom text and professional resource."--Michael F. Goodchild, Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara --"
  • ""This text presents technology and mapping concepts as one integral whole to help students navigate the complex world of contemporary multimedia. Kraak and Ormeling are experienced practitioners who go beyond cartographic basics to explain the fundamentals of spatial data serving online, spatial analysis, and animation. This is an excellent text for an upper-level class in geovisualization or multimedia."--Margaret W. Pearce, Department of Geography, University of Kansas --"
  • "Integrating cutting-edge technology with traditional cartographic principles, this text provides a framework for effectively visualizing and analyzing geospatial data. It gives students critical concepts and methods for harnessing the enormous amount of geospatial data available on the Internet and creating maps that can support real-world decision making. The third edition incorporates current developments in scientific and information visualization, multimedia, animation, virtual reality, and exploratory data analysis. The writing style is straightforward, clear, and accessible. Illustrated throughout with highly instructive diagrams and sample maps, the book includes 58 color plates. --Book Jacket."
