Hello,

 

A faculty member in History has asked for recommendations for a book he could use for readings in an upcoming graduate seminar on “Nature, Space and Place in Historical Research.”

 

He’s looking for suggestions for “short, easily digestible readings about scale, raster versus vector, choropleth maps, census data, and metadata” – possibly a book that includes these discussions as chapters. He wants to help the History graduate students “think about maps as sources, problems in their construction, how maps lie, etc., and how to bring historic maps into a GIS.”

 

I’ve found a few contenders by searching around, but any recommendations you have on specific books would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you,
