A lavishly illustrated reference guide, Cartography. by Kenneth Field is an inspiring and creative
companion along the nonlinear journey toward designing a great map. This compendium for
contemporary mapmaking distills the essence of cartography into useful topics, organized for
convenience in finding the specific method or subject you need. Unlike books targeted toward
deep scholarly discourse of cartographic theory, this book provides sound, visually compelling
information that translates into practical ideas for modern mapmaking. At the intersection of science
and art, Cartography. serves as a guidepost for designing an accurate and effective map and makes a
strong statement about the worth of cartography and cartographic thinking.
Dr. Kenneth Field brings a wealth of experience from academia and commercial practice into his
book. He is a winner of numerous cartographic awards for his original maps as well as his writing. His
work has been recognized by numerous peer-reviewed bodies for its quality, and his book brings
together this body of cartographic knowledge for the first time.
“Read the book for pragmatic advice or to broaden your horizon. For me, it did both.”
—Menno-Jan Kraak, president of the International Cartographic Association (ICA); professor,
University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands; author of Mapping Time and coauthor of
Cartography: Visualization of Geospatial Data
“An impressively creative and useful scholarly contribution.”
—Mark Monmonier, author of How to Lie with Maps; Distinguished Professor of Geography, Syracuse
University, New York
“What Kenneth Field has created here is a brilliant reference book on behalf of our field of
cartography. Finally! A book that truly represents cartography in 2018.”
—Christopher Wesson, The Bulletin of the Society of Cartographers
