Geography, Topography, and Travel
With the advent of Google Maps, "maps" have become convenient and familiar. However, on the other hand, they have been used without the ability to read and create maps correctly, resulting in false and arbitrary maps being circulated. In order to eliminate such harmful effects, it is necessary to acquire the skills (= map literacy) to handle maps correctly, just as with "reading and writing abacus". Therefore, this book will explain how to read and create maps correctly from the viewpoint of map creators. Starting with "What is a map?", through "How maps are used incorrectly", you will learn "correct manners of maps" and "how maps work." It is one of the strongest books that covers detailed knowledge about maps from the basics, including "electronic maps."
