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 latest advances (in 2002) that have influenced cartographic techniques. The new edition reflects the increasing importance of cartography as the basis for further geographical study, the authors updating the original content and including three new chapters; Atlases, Mapping Time, and Exploratory Cartography. There is also a more widespread emphasis on multimedia and the web, and the new edition will have a companion web site that provides OHPs, shows dynamics, provides an instructors manual and demonstrates more advanced cartographic techniques.
