Note: This ISBN includes Volume 1and Volume 2

For more than thirty years, the History of Cartography Project has charted the course for scholarship on cartography, bringing together research from a variety of disciplines on the creation, dissemination, and use of maps. Volume 6, Cartography in the Twentieth Century, continues this tradition with a groundbreaking survey of the century just ended and a new full-color, encyclopedic format.

The twentieth century is a pivotal period in map history. The transition from paper to digital formats led to previously unimaginable dynamic and interactive maps. Geographic information systems radically altered cartographic institutions and reduced the skill required to create maps. Satellite positioning and mobile communications revolutionized wayfinding. Mapping evolved as an important tool for coping with complexity, organizing knowledge, and influencing public opinion in all parts of the globe and at all levels of society. Volume 6 covers these changes comprehensively, while thoroughly demonstrating the far-reaching effects of maps on science, technology, and society—and vice versa.

The lavishly produced volume includes more than five hundred articles accompanied by more than a thousand images. Hundreds of expert contributors provide both original research, often based on their own participation in the developments they describe, and interpretations of larger trends in cartography. Designed for use by both scholars and the general public, this definitive volume is a reference work of first resort for all who study and love maps.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This stunning set . . . examines technologically advanced global mapping. With 500 entries (the first three volumes of the encyclopedia featured instead lengthy essays) accompanied by more than 1,000 color and black-and-white maps, photographs, and tables, and its coverage of a seminal time in cartography, this is the portion to buy if your library can’t acquire the entire series." -- Starred Review ― Library Journal

“Well-organized, authoritative, and thorough. . . . Highly recommended.” ― Choice

"Mapmaking may now be a more popular activity than in any other time in history—every time a person looks for directions online, a new, customized map is born. Just a century or so ago, none of the mapmaking tools we now take for granted existed. . . .The History of Cartography, Volume 6: Cartography in the 20th Century traces the incredible advances in the last century that made possible the map-obsessed world of today." ― Atlas Obscura

“The unique combination of substantial and comprehensive content written by experts in each of the sub-fields, extensive illustrations, and the coverage of almost anything that is relevant in today’s world of cartography makes this two-part volume my favourite of the series so far. It could even be a serious contender for the one book on that mythical desert island for anyone passionate about maps.” ― Globe

“A major triumph by any and all standards, The History of Cartography project stands as the leading achievement of cartographic scholarship in recent decades.” ― Journal of European Studies

“So rich is this material it is hard to do it justice in review. . . . One of its greatest contributions is to bring this quality information into one volume, putting a spotlight onto its histories—military and otherwise—thereby taking the subject of twentieth-century cartography beyond the realm of the exeperts.” ― International Map Collectors Society

"A worthy tribute to mapping andmapmaking." ― AAG Review of Books

“The richness, depth and variety of coverage is staggering and, as with the other volumes of The History of Cartography, the achievement is difficult to fathom. In fact, I would argue that volume six goes beyond even the previous volumes in magnitude of its achievement not only in size but in quality. The fact that volume six consists of encyclopaedia-style entries does not diminish but, on the contrary, only heightens its impact. I also predict that, of the complete set of volumes, this could end up being the one that gets the most use in terms of both citation and public engagement.” ― Cartographic Journal
