The ESRI Mapping Center blog points to a new booklet from the British Cartographic Society: Cartography: An Introduction, co-written by Giles Darkes and Mary Spence, is part of the BCS’s Better Mapping Campaign (see previous entry); its aim “is to give basic information on what works well in map design and to get the world thinking about maps and their messages.” Available from their Web site for £5 (plus shipping).
