a useful book related to cartographic design
I am a university studying Geography and in my GIS Unit I was set the task of mapping a park and then transferring my collected data onto paper, I wouldn't have made it through without this book, which proved invaluable. A lthough not visually eye catching and with very few pictures the book is still a definate must for any struggling GIS Student
