"In this soundly constructed, well referenced, and beautifully illustrated book, Professor Robinson has demonstrated a growing sense of scholarly purpose within the history of cartography."—J. B. Harley, Times Higher Educational Supplement. Arthur H. Robinson (January 5, 1915 – October 10, 2004) was an American geographer and cartographer, who was professor in the Geography Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1947 until he retired in 1980. He was an influential philosopher on cartography, and one of his most notable accomplishments is the Robinson projection of 1961. He earned his Ph.D. degree from Ohio State University in 1947. During World War II, Robinson served as director of the map division of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Led by Robinson, the OSS cartographers designed a massive 50-inch globe for President Franklin Roosevelt, which became known as "The President's Globe." While serving with the OSS, Robinson oversaw the creation of 5, 000 hand-drawn maps and attended the Allied conferences at Quebec and Cairo in 1943 and in 1944, he served as chief U.S. map officer. In 1947 Robinson joined the geography department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Robinson served as president of the International Cartographic Association (1972–76). He was awarded the Carl Mannerfelt Gold Medal by the International Cartographic Association in 1980. Thematic maps-maps that portray such particular subjects as air temperature, ocean currents, vegetation, population, incidence of disease, and passenger traffic-have a relatively short history. They began in the late 1600s and became widespread by the mid-1800s. This richly illustrated work is the first to trace this important aspects of cartography from its beginnings through it maturity in the mod-nineteenth century. An original and basic contribution to its field, this important reference work will also delight the general reader, who will find it valuable for its short introduction to the general history of cartography and for the biographical and bibliographical details of cartographers and their products.
