Starkey's Book of Statesby David Starkey
Boson Books 2007; US$ 9.95Inspired by a children's geography primer, The Arrow Book of States , Starkey?s Book of States was conceived in response as a contemporary poetic atlas. Written over the course of several years, the collection includes fifty poems evoking the landscape or mood of each of the fifty states. In poetry which is by turns wistful and sardonic, comic and bleak, Starkey sketches a map of America more accurate than that of any cartographer. The book also contains illustrations by the artist Rafael Perea de la Cabada. This book is also available in print.

Graphs and Networksby Philippe Mathis
ISTE 2006; US$ 105.00This book concerns the use of graphs for the simulation and representation of mainly transport networks. The aim of the book is to treat networks in both spatial analysis and urban management, together with the simulation by graph theory, a tool that makes it possible to solve various classic problems such as high-speed roads between one or more origins and destinations, the capacity of a network, etc. It is also possible to apply these results to other applications such as personal networks and communications networks. more...
Cartography and Childrenby Patrick Wiegand
Taylor & Francis 2006; US$ 45.95Provides an account of how children learn with maps and how teachers can best teach them. This work includes aspects of map use, such as reading and interpreting maps, and covering maps of all scales. It integrates the digital and conventional mapping, and Internet and CD-ROM cartography with applications of Geographic Information Systems. more...
Cybercartographyby D.R.F. Taylor
Elsevier 2006; US$ 215.00For generations, the map has been central to how societies function all over the world. Cybercartography is a new paradigm for maps and mapping in the information era. Defined as ?the organization, presentation, analysis and communication of spatially referenced information on a wide variety of topics of interest to society,? cybercartography is presented in an interactive, dynamic, multisensory format with the use of multimedia and multimodal interfaces. Cybercartography: Theory and Practice examines the major elements of cybercartography and emphasizes the importance of interaction between theory and practice in developing a paradigm which moves beyond the concept of Geographic Information Systems and Geographical Information Science.... more...

Generalisation of Geographic Informationby William A. Mackaness; Anne Ruas; L. Tiina Sarjakoski
Elsevier 2007; US$ 200.00Theoretical and Applied Solutions in Multi Scale Mapping Users have come to expect instant access to up-to-date geographical information, with global coverage--presented at widely varying levels of detail, as digital and paper products; customisable data that can readily combined with other geographic information. These requirements present an immense challenge to those supporting the delivery of such services (National Mapping Agencies (NMA), Government Departments, and private business. Generalisation of Geographic Information: Cartographic Modelling and Applications provides detailed review of state of the art technologies associated with these challenges, including the most recent developments in cartometric analysis techniques able... more...
