Synopsis

Maps That Tell The Truth: how projections shape scale, area, and form—and how to choose the right one for your map.

This non‑fiction guide explains how map projections influence what you see. It presents the main ideas a reader should know to compare projections, test their merits, and use them effectively in real maps.

The book outlines clear criteria for judging projections: how well they preserve scale along meridians and parallels, how accurately they represent areas, how faithfully they show shape, and how easy they are to construct. It also discusses the practical side of choosing a projection for a map, and how different projections can lead to different interpretations of the same territory.
What you’ll experience

• A framework for evaluating map projections based on scale, area, and shape
• Explanations of common projections and their practical uses
• Guidance on recognizing what a projection will or won’t do on a map
• Ways to understand the relationships between projections and real-world maps

Ideal for readers of geography, cartography, and anyone who works with maps and wants to avoid common mistakes.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
