OK, so the first #cartobooks I am reviewing is "Österreich – Raum und Gesellschaft" (2019) by M. Seger and Thomas Hafner (cartographer, not credited as author). The book's claim is to give a comprehensive overview of Austria from a geographic perspective on 648 pages. #mapsathome ImageImage The book has potential to show a new way in digitally produced cartography: it doesn't even try to replicate the bespoke details and composition of analogue cartography, but leverages the advantages of digital production and GIS: sheer volume and density of (curated) information.
