Its scope is described in the abstract: "The history of cartography has,
since the 1970s, significantly expanded its disciplinary reach, its theoretical
directions and approaches, and its scholarship. This annotated bibliography
is intended as a guide to the extended field. It seeks to remind newcomers
and established map scholars alike of the field’s traditional literatures and
concerns and to inform them of its new directions and scholarship. The
bibliography presents what are arguably the most important, influential, insightful,
and (pedagogically) useful studies in the history and philosophy of
cartography."
