Never lost again : the Google mapping revolution that sparked new industries and augmented our reality / by Kilday, Bill,author.(CARDINAL)418256;
"Never Lost Again chronicles the evolution of mapping technology--the "overnight success twenty years in the making." Bill Kilday takes us behind the scenes of the tech's development, and introduces to the team that gave us not only Google Maps but Google Earth, and most recently, Pokémon GO. He takes us back to the beginning to Keyhole--a cash-strapped startup mapping company started by a small-town Texas boy named John Hanke, that nearly folded when the tech bubble burst. While a contract with the CIA kept them afloat, the company's big break came with the first invasion of Iraq; CNN used their technology to cover the war and made it famous. Then Google came on the scene, buying the company and relaunching the software as Google Maps and Google Earth. Eventually, Hanke's original company was spun back out of Google, and is now responsible for Pokémon GO and the upcoming Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Kilday, the marketing director for Keyhole and Google Maps, was there from the earliest days, and offers a personal look behind the scenes at the tech and the minds developing it. But this book isn't only a look back at the past; it is also a glimpse of what's to come. Kilday reveals how emerging map-based technologies including virtual reality and driverless cars are going to upend our lives once again. Never Lost Again shows us how our worldview changed dramatically as a result of vision, imagination, and implementation. It's a crazy story. And it all started with a really good map."--Amazon.com.

Time in maps : from the Age of Discovery to our digital era / by Wigen, Kären,1958-editor.(CARDINAL)851997; Winterer, Caroline,1966-editor.(CARDINAL)845504; David Rumsey Map Center,host institution.(CARDINAL)850397;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The new field of spatial history has been driven by digital mapping tools that can readily show change over time in space. But long before such software became available, mapmakers regularly represented time in sophisticated and nuanced ways in supposedly static maps, and even those maps presented as historical snapshot illustrate the centrality of time to what we think of as primarily a spatial medium. In this collection, an array of today's leading scholars consider how mapmakers in a variety of contexts depicted time in their creations--from Aztecs documenting the founding of Tenochtitlan, to early modern Japanese reconstructing nostalgic landscapes before Western encroachments, to nineteenth-century Americans grappling with the new concept of deep time. The book includes a theoretical salvo and defense of traditional paper maps by William Rankin--himself a distinguished digital mapmaker--and includes more than 100 maps and related visuals, all in full color"--

Infinite perspectives : two thousand years of three-dimensional mapmaking / by Ambroziak, Brian M.(Brian Michael),1970-(CARDINAL)316827; Ambroziak, Jeffrey R.(Jeffrey Russell),1966-(CARDINAL)316826;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 107-109)."For over two thousand years, mapmakers have struggled with the problem of representing a three-dimensional planet on a two-dimensional canvas. Infinite Perspectives traces the artistic and scientific evolution of the age-old quest to conquer this challenge. From ancient Greek coins to detailed nineteenth-century Swiss Alpine maps to the inconceivably scaled landscapes of Mars, more than eighty color maps illustrate history's most enduring attempts to pay cartographic homage to the multidimensional landscape. An additional twenty plates present a revolutionary cartographic technique that allows viewers wearing ordinary 3-D glasses to examine the Earth and beyond with an accuracy and clarity undreamed of even a generation ago.The first comprehensive overview of the ancient saga of relief mapmaking, Infinite Perspectives is a treasure for the map enthusiast, the cartographer, and the explorer in all of us."--BOOK JACKET.
