GIS Monitor reviews Cynthia Brewer’s Designing Better Maps: “Brewer’s advice is authoritative, practical, and useful to novice and experienced mapmakers alike. She focuses on just a few key questions — how to design a map so that its layout matches its purpose … and how to effectively use type, colors, symbols, and marginal elements to support that purpose — and drills down.” See previous entry.
