Authors Arthur H. Robinson and Barbara B. Petchenik. These essays address a need for a general theory of cartography that explains the uniqueness of maps. They examine how a map accomplishes what its maker intended and how the making and viewing of maps relate to different forms of knowing and communicating. Hardbound, 138 pp, xi, illustrations, dj.
