Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Hydrographic Surveying The object in view in the preparation of this work has been to furnish a text-book for the instruction of midshipmen at the U. S. Naval Academy; as a consequence, the subject has been treated with particular reference to the requirements of the course at that institution. The limitation thus placed has prevented the detailed description of certain features occasionally involved in surveying operations of the most precise nature, as, for example, astronomical transit observations; but all branches of the work connected with a marine hydrographic survey as ordinarily carried out have been completely described, and the book is therefore available for purposes of reference for naval officers and others that may be engaged in such work. In the preparation of the book, existing works on the subject were freely consulted, especially Phelps' Practical Marine Surveying, Wharton's Hydrographical Surveying, Bowditch's American Practical Navigator (revised edition), and Gurley's Manual of Surveying Instruments; and much valuable assistance was received from Mr. G. W. Littlehales, Hydrographic Engineer, of the Hydrographic Office of the U. S. Navy Department Acknowledgment is also made of the courtesy of Messrs. W. and L. E. Gurley, of Troy, N. Y., who supplied the illustrations of the various instruments. Certain methods described for measuring a broken base and for delineating shore-line, together with some practical hints on minor points, are the result of the author's own experience, and are not known to have been previously published.

Book Description
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

Book Description
In this concise introduction to the history of cartography, Norman J. W. Thrower charts the intimate links between maps and history from antiquity to the present day. A wealth of illustrations, including the oldest known map and contemporary examples made using Geographical Information Systems (GIS), illuminate the many ways in which various human cultures have interpreted spatial relationships. The third edition of Maps and Civilization incorporates numerous revisions, features new material throughout the book, and includes a new alphabetized bibliography. Praise for previous editions of Maps and Civilization: “A marvelous compendium of map lore. Anyone truly interested in the development of cartography will want to have his or her own copy to annotate, underline, and index for handy referencing.”—L. M. Sebert, Geomatica
