Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:

Product Description
A visually stunning and conceptually explosive report from the frontiers of mapmaking. Ranging from the mapping of the ocean floor to the scanning of remote galaxies, from portraits of subatomic collisions to an unprecedented view of the mathematical constant "pi, " this work makes the theoretical compellingly concrete, even as it reminds us that the world is far more vast than we ever dreamed. Photographs throughout.

• Horrendous

15 October, 1998

This book is a collection of unrelated "expositary" essays on current developments in science. The theme of "mapping" is forced and really doesn't work at unifying the chapters. The book has little or nothing to do with developments in computers or cartography. The author shows little comprehension of what he writes about, especially in the sections devoted to mathematics, and his original thought is fairly shallow. Don't expect it to come back in print.

• Very Basic

18 March, 2004

The writer of the book has written a rather boring book. What it is a series of interviews and stories about cartography in different fields. Nothing really very interesting. All very basic.
