description: Allow neither preconceptions of puerile pictorial maps (though some such are included) nor the amateurish dust jacket to put you off. Holmes (graphics director Time ) has assembled lovely and pedagogic examples together with explication of map projections topographic conventions and high tech cartography. Many examples are too small for study; it would have been better to have presented detail views of larger maps. Has myriad ideas for the graphic artist resembling thus the Tufte books.
