Another Book Roundup
- Booklist reviews the 12th edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World — “a recommended source for any library or individual who can afford it.” Via Collins Maps.
- Glenn points to the upcoming Manual of Geographic Information Systems, edited by Marguerite Madden, coming this summer from ASPRS.
- Newsday reviews The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet, which the reviewer calls “a very good book — too good, in fact, to be dismissed as gimmicky or pretentious. … This is a book to be read slowly, savored for its digressions and offbeat characters. … For T. S., mapping is ‘not an act of forgery but of translation and transcendence.’ He documents everything and everyone in order to have a sense of purpose and to beat back profound loneliness.”
