  • Represents the first in-depth summary of the “new cartography” that has appeared since the early 1990s
  • Provides an explanation of what this new critical cartography is, why it is important, and how it is relevant to a broad, interdisciplinary set of readers
  • Presents theoretical discussion supplemented with real-world case studies
  • Brings together both a technical understanding of GIS and mapping as well as sensitivity to the importance of theory

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《地圖學:地圖製作與地理資訊系統的關鍵介紹》是一本針對非專業讀者介紹地圖製作和地理資訊系統(GIS)相關關鍵議題的入門書籍。該書跨越多個學科,探討GIS和地圖製作對地理學和其他相關學科的重要影響。這是自1990年代初以來出現的「新地圖學」的首次深入總結。書中解釋了這種新的批判性地圖製作的概念,以及它為廣泛的跨學科讀者群體的重要性和相關性。書中理論討論並附有實際案例研究,既提供了對GIS和地圖製作的技術理解,又對理論的重要性有所敏感。
