Working with map projections : a guide to their selection
A map projection fundamentally impacts the mapmaking process, Working with map projection: a guide their selection explains why, for any given map, there isn't a single best map projection. Selecting a projection is a matter of understanding the compromises and consequences of of showing a 3-D space in two dimensions. It presents acleaer understanding of the processes necessary to make logical decision on selecting an appropriate map projection for a given data set.It discusses the logic neede in the selection process, why certain decision should be made, and explain the consequences of any inapropriate decision made during the selection process.
This book also explains how the map projection will impact the map's ability to fulfill its purpose, use real-world data set as the basis for the selection of an appropriate map projection, and provides illustration of an appropriately and innappropriately selected mao projections for a given data set. It takes a novel approach to discussing map projection by avoiding an extensive inventory of mathematical formulae and using only mathematics of map projections that matter for many mapping taska. It also present information that is directly applicable to the process of selecting map projections and is not tied to specific sofware package.
Written by leading experts, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone studying of working with geospatial data, from student to experienced profesionala, and will help readers successfully weigh the pros and cons of choosing projection over another to suit the map's inteded purpose.
