In this episode Steven welcomes back his old friend cartographer Kenneth Field, who recently published his new book Thematic Mapping: 101 Inspiring Ways to Visualise Empirical Data. In the book Kenneth takes the data from the 2016 US election and maps it in 101 different ways, showcasing many different cartographic techniques, and weighing the pros and cons of each. As was to be expected from the author of Cartography., Kenneth's new book is as beautiful as it is educational. By taking the reader on a journey through the many different map styles, Kenneth reveals the different ways data can be used to convey a message or spark a conversation. Steven and Kenneth discuss the process of writing the book, and some of Kenneth's favorite maps. Show notes on the Geomob website, where you can also learn more about Geomob events and sign up for our monthly newsletter.

                Kenneth Field: Thematic Mappping
            

“You don’t have to be a cartographer to make a great map.” Cole talks with cartographer Kenneth Field, author of the award-winning book, Cartography. Tune in to hear the thought process for visualizing data when the “where” matters, including different types of maps, how purpose and audience should drive design decisions, and whether there’s any such thing as a truly accurate map. Plus, learn how technology has compressed the mapmaking process (for better and worse)—from graphicacy to objectivity and ethics, it’s an episode not to miss! LINKS: Follow Ken: @kennethfield | carto.maps.arcgis.com Buy Ken’s book: Cartography Also mentioned: How to Lie with Maps (Monmonier) Non-cartographers who made exceptional maps: Charles Minard (map), Florence Nightingale (map), Harry Beck (map)
