The lavishly produced volume includes more than five hundred articles accompanied by more than a thousand images. Volume 6 covers these changes comprehensively, while thoroughly demonstrating the far-reaching effects of maps on science, technology, and society-and vice versa. Mapping evolved as an important tool for coping with complexity, organizing knowledge, and influencing public opinion in all parts of the globe and at all levels of society. Satellite positioning and mobile communications revolutionized wayfinding. Geographic information systems radically altered cartographic institutions and reduced the skill required to create maps. The transition from paper to digital formats led to previously unimaginable dynamic and interactive maps. The twentieth century is a pivotal period in map history. Volume 6, Cartography in the Twentieth Century, continues this tradition with a groundbreaking survey of the century just ended and a new full-color, encyclopedic format. Book excerpt: For more than thirty years, the History of Cartography Project has charted the course for scholarship on cartography, bringing together research from a variety of disciplines on the creation, dissemination, and use of maps. This book was released on with total page 1728 pages.
