About the Book

The immense growth in the field of cartography and the increasing complexity of the techniques now employed by the cartographer has created a gap in the available literature for one concise volume which provides a general outline of the most up to date and pertinent techniques used in map production and reproduction. This volume represents more than three years work on the part of the Standing Commission of Map Production of the International Cartographic Association to produce a balanced compendium of modern cartographic techniques. A major task of the Commission was to ensure that, firstly, the subjects had international application and secondly, that there was continuity of presentation. In order to ensure this an Editorial Committee headed by J.P. Curran (Canada) assisted by K. Burmester (Denmark), A.J. Kers (The Netherlands) and Professor E. Spiess (Switzerland) was set up to coordinate the project. The Compendium contains descriptions of 85 techniques and is extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
