Mapping as Process

Mapping as Process is a space for me to explore a new approach to understanding mapping and its history. The exploration will eventually contribute to a book of the same name.

Search Mapping as Process:

The books …

Comparative Map History and “the History of Cartography”: Methodologies, Institutions, and Idealizations in Brill Research Perspectives on Map History. Available from Brill in print and as an ebook ($87).

Cartography in the European Enlightenment, Volume Four of The History of Cartography, edited by myself and Mary Pedley. Available from the University of Chicago Press, in print and ebook ($500).

Available from the University of Chicago Press in paperback ($30), e-book ($10–30), or cloth ($90).

Some paperback ($38) copies are still available, as well as the ebook, from the University of Chicago Press.
