About this title

Synopsis

Map Use: Reading, Analysis, Interpretation, eighth edition is a comprehensive, foundational textbook designed for the college curriculum. With a section on map interpretation, Map Use provides students with the knowledge and skills to read and understand maps, and offers professional cartographers a thorough reference resource.

Nearly 600 full-color maps, photographs, and graphs illustrate the concepts behind communicating with maps, while PowerPoint slides (available through the book resource page at https://links.esri.com/MapUseSlides) further support use of the text in the classroom.

The book renders basic cartographic principles accessible to all, from students of cartography and map design to those without a formal education in geography. Accommodating new developments in GPS and geographic information system technology, Map Use: Reading, Analysis, Interpretation, eighth edition can serve as an excellent introductory GIS text.
