The Look of Maps: An Examination of Cartographic Design is a cartographic classic by Arthur H. Robinson originally published in 1952. The book was based on Robinson’s doctoral research “which investigated the relationship between science and art in cartography and the resultant refinement of graphic techniques in mapmaking to present dynamic geographic information.”

GIS Lounge focuses on GIS, maps, cartography, and other geospatial technologies. Visit the GIS 101 page, a launch page for learning about GIS on this site.
