Thinking with Maps: Understanding the World through Spatialization - Paperback
by Bertram C. Bruce (Author)
Thinking with Maps takes readers on a journey through both traditional and modern mapping in order to learn how to conceive of mapping as fundamental to cognition and, thus, to what it means to be human. Each chapter considers an aspect of how we use maps. Examples from around the world show how learning can be made more relevant.
Bertram C. Bruce has a PhD in computer science and is professor emeritus in information science at the University of Illinois.
