Thematic Cartography and Geovisualization, 3rd Edition

It is a very informative text. IT can get dry at times and the black and white print makes it difficult to cover multiple chapters at a time. It is a good text for anybody who wants to understand how to best present a map to the selected audience. It also explains how to change things to better suit different audiences

Don't buy this book in Kindle format!This book proved to be nearly unreadable in Kindle format (I can say nothing about the hardcover, which is probably quite OK) . The pages can be scaled as a whole, but the text cannot. And since the layout is made with the text in two colums, scaling the page and navigating pages up and down and sideways makes you lose the continuity, and in practice it becomes competely unreadable. Referring back to a previous page or consulting an illustration is nearly hopeless.It barely works om a (large) computer screen, but I cannot read it at all on a tablet.This is more or less a kind of glorified pdf, and it is not worth the money.

Using for a course right now. Really in depth but easy to follow. Wish it came with some related practice materials

This is the assigned textbook, but I actually like reading it. How to make maps and what cartographers leave out.

Before I got this book I was but a lowly graduate student. Now, having read it, I have magically transformed into esteemed cartographer Waldo Tobler.

This book was written with a statistical background in mind. Ideas are not spelled out in lay terms and are difficult to comprehend. The authors tend to define things mathematically in the text and verbally in the summaries. The figures and summary and much more understandable that the text.

Good book

This book doesn't skimp. It talks about different data binning techniques, how to cones and rods in our eyes affect our color perception and trigonometric functions behind projections. It's written by experts and highly enjoyable. It's a good book not just for geographers and cartographers, but for any data scientist.

Bought this book when it’s on sale. Exactly what I need for a course. Arrived earlier than expected.

I had purchased this book for my cartography class. It does not engage the reader at all and has very contradicting map displays. leaving you on the fence on many cartographic standards and principles, also its extremely overpriced for an uninteresting book with a low use of colour, considering colour is a main aspect of creating a map.....
