Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-Young begins by describing a flight in to Chicago's O'Hare Airport and how a map of the terminal (shown in full-page illustration) helped her get through the huge building and find her connecting gate. This incident sets the tone for the rest of the book, which, through numerous color drawings, reproductions, and photographs, takes readers on a tour of the many different kinds of maps that help people to navigate neighborhoods, cities, states, the globe, or even outer space. The technical aspects of cartography such as the use of scale, color, and overlays are explained, again with ample illustrations and examples. This book also gives a history of mapmaking and shows all the difficulties that early geographers encountered when attempting to create a graphic representation of the world. How scientists in the 1700s solved the problem of charting longitude is also explained. This is a worthy addition to any geography section. Barbara Taylor's Maps and Mapping (Kingfisher, 1993) is a good choice for younger readers.

A must for every family home library
1. Januar 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
"Every map tells a story," and this colorful and engaging tour of the world of maps tells dozens of stories about maps, mapmaking, and mapmakers. There are ancient maps, subway maps, a map of the location of dogs in the author's neighborhood (she hates to be chased when she jogs), weather maps, relief maps, maps of the stars (both celestial and Hollywood), and a map of the brain. The writing style is both informal and informative. If only all science and social studies textbooks were written this well!
How to inspire your child to love maps
21. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
My daughter chose this book for her book project at school. The book contains descriptions of different types of maps--everything from early maps charting the world to maps of the universe to semantic maps. It also contains interviews with mapmakers and other professionals that make and use maps from many different fields. What sets this book apart and makes it unforgettable is the author's engaging storytelling style. She makes maps relevant. For example, there is a great description of a map created by a woman who wanted to go running, but hated barking dogs. The map of her neighborhood that she created shows all the streets of her running route and where all the dogs live. The book vividly shows the intersection of cartography with science, history, even philosophy. After reading the book, my daughter started making maps. "I had no idea you could make maps for everything," was her comment.
