Review
"This clearly is an important book....This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking intellectual treatise on the role of graphic representation in human perception, cognition, visualization, and communication. Although the vehicle for this journey is the geographic map, you will learn a great deal about yourself and your interaction with the environment along the way....Should help guide environmental mapping creatively and productively into the exciting age of visualization." --"URISA Journal"
"I used the book in a graduate seminar series....The book created a fabric for discussion which was rich enough and broad enough to support extensive and intensive scrutiny....Would I use the book in another graduate seminar? Absolutely. I recommend it to mapping-science and GIS professionals, to scientists working in computer vision, to everyone whose work involves creation of, or inference about, representations of spatial information."--"Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design" (review by Barbara P. Buttenfield)
"The book is well produced and extensively illustrated." --"Mapping Awareness"
