The Map Room

Bookslut’s Colleen Mondor reviews three map-related books for her September column: Michael Trinklein’s Lost States (reviewed here in July 2008); The Road to There: Mapmakers and Their Stories by Val Ross, a young-adult look at mapmakers from Mercator to Pearsall; and Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline.

The Collins Maps Blog announces the availability of The Times Atlas of Britain (previously) and the fifth edition of the mid-range Times Reference Atlas of the World. (See this post for the differences between the Times atlases.)

Geoweb Guru reviews Adam DuVander’s Map Scripting 101, a “comprehensive introduction to web mapping that relies on the Mapstraction open source library.”
