Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Eduard Imhof's classic book Cartographic Relief Presentation is once again available. Within the discipline of cartography, few works are considered classics in the sense of retaining their interest, relevance, and inspiration with the passage of time. One such work is Imhof's masterpiece on relief representation. As a unique display of analysis and portrayal, this is an outstanding example of the need for cartography to combine intellect and graphics in solving map design problems. The range, detail, and scientific artistry of his solutions are presented in a teaching context that puts this work in a class by itself, with universal significance.

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding book, December 27, 2007
By L. McGinley (Saint Paul, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is even more incredible than I expected. The art and science of relief representation in black and white and color is explained clearly. The stereoscopic pairs are incredible and this book is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Any college-level library strong in cartography must have this., May 8, 2008
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
A new edition of Swiss cartographer Eduard Imhof's classic provides new audience with a title last published 25 years ago and long out of print. It first provides a historical overview of cartographic relief, discussing early symbols of mapping, teaching techniques in symbology and drawing, and discussing relief features. The 1982 edition was expensive to produce and thus limited: this new volume is affordable and true to its original edition, editing text for clarity and making only minor changes. Any college-level library strong in cartography must have this.

This book is a classic for everyone interested in the art of map making. Imhof was a true genius and the book is a must-have for all students of cartography, geodesy, remote sensing and even GIS.
