Cartographia:
Mapping Civilizations
Cartographia offers a stunning array of 200 of the most
beautiful,
important, and fascinating maps in existence, from the world's largest
cartographic collection, at the Library of Congress. These maps show
how our idea of the world has shifted and grown over time, and each
map
tells its own unique story about nations, politics, and ambitions. The
chosen images, with their accompanying stories, introduce the reader
to
an exciting new way of "reading" maps as travelogues - living history
from the earliest of man's imaginings about p***t earth to our
current
attempts at charting cyberspace. From Little, Brown and Co., 2007.
Maps:
Finding Our Place in the World
Maps are universal forms of communication, easily understood and
appreciated regardless of culture or language. This truly magisterial
book introduces readers to the widest range of maps ever considered in
one volume: maps from different time periods and a variety of
cultures;
maps made for divergent purposes and depicting a range of
environments;
and maps that embody the famous, the important, the beautiful, the
groundbreaking, or the amusing. Built around the functions of
maps—the
kinds of things maps do and have done—Maps confirms the vital role
of
maps throughout history in commerce, art, literature, and national
identity. From The University of Chicago Press, 2007.

modelling for 3D objects is the focus of this book. The book begins
with some problems and motivations, the fundamental theories, the
implementation, and some applications developed based on the concepts.
The book is intended for various geoinformation related professionals
like GIS engineers, GIS software developers, photogrammetrists, land
surveyors, mapping specialists, researchers, postgraduate students,
and
lecturers. From Springer, 2007.
