About this title

Synopsis

Explore how map projections shape what we see on the world. Learn how different methods balance area, shape, and distance to help you read maps more accurately.

This edition explains the core ideas behind world map projections, including equal‑area and conformal designs. It shows how choices about projection affect the accuracy of size, shape, and angles, and why some maps excel as tools for measuring areas or plotting winds and currents. Practical examples illustrate why a single projection cannot perfectly preserve all aspects of the globe.

How equal‑area projections keep sizes correct across the map, and where distortions appear

Why shapes can be stretched or compressed away from the equator in some projections

Different map types such as cylindrical, conical, and Mollweide projections

How to choose the right projection for studying areas, routes, or atmospheric currents

Ideal for readers seeking a clear, practical understanding of map-making methods and their real‑world uses.
