Esri Press is proud to republish Arthur H. Robinson's classic text, The Look of Maps. Originally published in 1952, this book was largely responsible for the shift in cartographic research emphasis from the production of maps to communication and design theory. Still relevant today, this book will continue to be an asset to cartographic libraries for years to come.
