论点是复杂的，并作为辩论点。这是一本很棒的书，它应该是所有与地图和制图相关的人必不可少的阅读。而且在现有的价格下，没有什么理由不购买它。它在广泛的背景下提出了这个主题，远远超出了制图的代表性范式。现在我不相信我在这个信息时代的制图教学中是独一无二的，多年来我一直在地理可视化课上向学生们提出这个论点，所以我不需要令人信服;但我发现他们的论点很吸引人。我看着国家地理的地图增刊（或在杂志的页面上），我试着问自己，也让我的学生问，“为什么那个元素被包括在内，为什么那个被强调？更深层次的信息是什么？他们有什么没告诉我的？”我发现这是一个非常有益的方法，它来自我的阅读许多作者的写作谁可能被认为是技术制图师，以及那些谁可能被认为是更重建或人文制图师。我非常感谢丹尼斯·伍德和约翰·费尔斯为我阅读地图提供了如此甘美和更具分析性的支持。
arguments are complex and act as debating points. This is a wonderful book and it should be essential reading to all associated with maps and mapping. And at the price available, there is little excuse for not purchasing it. It presents the topic in a wide context, and goes much beyond the representational paradigm of cartography. Now I do not believe that I am unique among those teaching cartography in this information age, and I have been presenting this argument to students in my geographical visualization classes for many years, so I do not need convincing; yet I find their argument engaging. I look at a National Geographic map supplement (or in the pages of the magazine) and I try to ask myself and to get my students asking, ‘Why is that element included and why is that emphasized? What is the deeper message? What are they not telling me?’ I find this a very rewarding approach, and it comes out of my reading of the writing of many authors who might be considered technical cartographers, as well as those who might be considered more reconstructed or humanistic cartographers. I am indebted to Denis Wood and John Fels for providing such a luscious and more analytical support for my reading of maps.
