Book excerpt: Excerpt from Topographic Maps and Sketch Mapping The demand for instruction in map reading and sketch mapping, brought about by the Great War, has led to the development of a course on this subject in many of our colleges and technical schools which have assisted in preparing men for the various officers' training camps. Outside of the purely military field our universities have in the past found it necessary to develop a course of this character for students in Geology and Physiography who are required to make extensive use of topographic maps. In recent years the development of the automobile and the camping habit has led to a more extensive use of maps by the general public, and a large number of people have "discovered" our own United States Geological Survey Maps, but are still unable to understand them completely and to make the fullest possible use of them. It will doubtless be necessary in the future for many educational institutions to continue instruction in this subject for students taking reserve officers and other military training courses in connection with their regular college work. Furthermore it seems probable that in many of our institutions the demand and necessity for such a course will lead to its inclusion as a regular academic study, given perhaps as a part of the instruction in Geology or Geography, or as a separate course under Civil Engineering. It is with this idea in view that this volume has been prepared. A large number of educated people have never learned to use topographic maps because it has been the general opinion that considerable mathematical knowledge was necessary. This is far from true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In his most ambitious work to date, [Edney] questions the very concept of ‘cartography’ to argue that this flawed ideal has hobbled the study of maps.” —Susan Schulten, author of A History of America in 100 Maps Over the past four decades, the volumes published in the landmark History of Cartography series have both chronicled and encouraged scholarship about maps and mapping practices across time and space. As the current director of the project that has produced these volumes, Matthew H. Edney has a unique vantage point for understanding what “cartography” has come to mean and include. In this book Edney disavows the term cartography, rejecting the notion that maps represent an undifferentiated category of objects for study. Rather than treating maps as a single, unified group, he argues, scholars need to take a processual approach that examines specific types of maps—sea charts versus thematic maps, for example—in the context of the unique circumstances of their production, circulation, and consumption. To illuminate this bold argument, Edney chronicles precisely how the ideal of cartography that has developed in the West since 1800 has gone astray. By exposing the flaws in this ideal, his book challenges everyone who studies maps and mapping practices to reexamine their approach to the topic. The study of cartography will never be the same. “[An] intellectually bracing and marvellously provocative account of how the mythical ideal of cartography developed over time and, in the process, distorted our understanding of maps.” —Times Higher Education “Cartography: The Ideal and Its History offers both a sharp critique of current practice and a call to reorient the field of map studies. A landmark contribution.” —Kären Wigen, coeditor of Time in Maps
