Cartography: Visualization of Geospatial Data (Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment)
by Jochen SchieweWhat would our lives look like if there were no (good) maps? Maps are essential for orientation, navigation, and simplifying complex environments, ultimately enhancing our understanding of the world. The visualization of geospatial data supports both laypeople and experts in various aspects of life—whether in personal, professional, or scientific contexts. With the growing availability of maps online, they are increasingly used in daily life on devices such as smartphones and tablets. However, the surge in map creation does not necessarily equate to the production of "good" maps—those that effectively and efficiently fulfill their intended purpose. This book explores the full breadth of the field of Cartography. It delves into the core of the discipline, focusing on the graphical representation of geospatial data, spatial reference, and map projections. Additionally, it addresses key peripheral topics that contribute to a comprehensive understanding, such as usability testing, data collection and processing, and cartographic law. Rather than providing technical or software-specific guidance, the author emphasizes the fundamental concepts and methods of modern Cartography. Introductory chapter overviews, numerous illustrations, and practical exercises support this approach. This textbook is a valuable resource for students and educators across various fields—Cartography, Geography, Geodesy, Urban and Regional Planning, Environmental Sciences, and more. It aids in the creation and use of "good maps" and provides a solid foundation in modern Cartography for anyone with an interest in maps.

The Confessions of Samuel Pepys: His Private Revelations
by Guy de Bédoyère'A brilliantly entertaining and revealing new transcription of Pepys's diary' Claire TomalinA collection of the most personal aspects of Samuel Pepys' diaries, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of their publicationThe Diary of Samuel Pepys is the most celebrated personal journal in the English language. His candid revelations as he forged his career as a civilian naval official in Restoration London have fascinated readers ever since the first selection was published in 1825. The Confessions of Samuel Pepys focuses on Pepys's controversial private life for a contemporary readership, by charting his varied and complex relationships with women. They included his wife Elizabeth whom he both loved and treated abominably, their domestic servants, the mistresses whom he secretly visited in Westminster and Deptford and other places, a host of other opportunistic encounters, the great ladies of the court whom he ogled, and the actresses and other female friends whose company he delighted in and combined with casual flirting and petting. All these he recounted in shorthand, often disguising the more salacious occasions in his own cryptic Franco-Latino polyglot or with a primitive system of extraneous consonants.Most of these controversial entries were excised from 19th century editions, but all are featured here in completely new transcriptions and Pepys's secret code translated, following fresh forensic examination, from the original shorthand diary. The Confessions of Samuel Pepys also reveals how all previous transcribers of the diary and many of his biographers have deliberately massaged Pepys's reputation.
