Who it's for

You have data with places in it

State, county or regional figures sitting in a spreadsheet, and a map you want that the tools you know make hard.

You're not a programmer

You need enough to make your maps, not to become a programmer. The book takes you from installation to a finished map with a minimum of heartache and confusion.

You want a clear, honest map

Thematic maps, bivariate and flow maps, cartograms and more, with restrained color and the reasons behind each choice.

Reading on a Kindle?

Maps are hard to read on a small e-ink screen. The figure gallery shows every figure from the book at full size, with its caption, so you can zoom in on a phone, tablet or monitor.
