Classics in Cartography provides an intellectually-driven
reinterpretation of a selection of ten touchstone articles in the
development of mapping scholarship over the last four decades. The
‘classics’ are drawn exclusively from the international
peer-review journal Cartographica and are reprinted in full
here. They are accompanied by newly commissioned reflective essays
by the original article authors, and other eminent scholars, to
provide fresh interpretation of the meaning of the ideas presented
and their wider, lasting impact on cartographic research.
The book provides an equal balance of influential articles from
the past and current commentaries which highlight their impact and
current context. Read in combination the original
‘classic’ articles and these new reflective essays
demonstrate how cartography works as a powerful representational
form and explores how various different aspects of mapping practice
have been conceptualized by an influential set of academic
researchers.
* Collates ‘classic’ articles from four decades of
the journal Cartographica
* Brings key articles up-to-date with contemporary interpretative
essays by the leading scholars in mapping research
* Themes covered are the epistemological of mapping practice, the
ontological underpinnings of cartographic representation, and the
contested societal implications of maps
* Evaluates the progression of the field of cartographic research
and demonstrates how new theoretical ideas originate, develop and
circulate
* Provides a signpost for students and new researchers on the key
articles in cartography to read and reflect upon
