Prized for its creative design, original art, and playful, accessible writing, Making Maps
is now in a thoroughly updated fourth edition. The text is restructured to emphasize
the importance of the map making process. All components of map making are covered
and are brought to life in the expanded graphic novella threaded through the text.
Updates include new coverage of data aggregation, artificial intelligence, feminist and
Indigenous perspectives, map making workflow, and more. Design choices are
emphasized and linked to the reasons for making a map. Featuring more than 80 color
illustrations and a unique layout, the book includes an annotated map exemplar used
throughout the text, extensive map examples, and a companion website.
