Reviews / Votes
"I definitely recommend this book. It is a valuable addition to the history of cartography in the past 50 years, giving, as the editors desired, the "flavor" of the period, and also serves as a starting point for researchers in cartography. It will be a much used resource for those in seminars of mapping sciences."- Judith A. Tyner, California State University, Long Beach
