Description
Behind every great map is a network and behind every great network is a map. In Connections and Content: Reflections on Networks and the History of Cartography, cartographic cogitator Mark Monmonier shares his insights about the relationships between networks and maps.
Using historical maps, he explores:Triangulation networks that established the baselines to set a map’s scaleAstronomical observations, ellipsoids, geodetic arcs, telegraph networks, and GPS constellations that put latitude and longitude on the mapCartographic symbols that portray a diverse range of network featuresSurvey networks used to situate and construct canals, railways, roads, and power linesPostal and electronic networks that created and disseminated weather maps, andTopological networks that underlie modern census enumeration and satellite navigation systems. Connecting the past to the present via maps and reflection, Monmonier continues his contribution to cartographic scholarship by exploring the network's power as a unifying concept for understanding and using maps.
