Well, that had to work in all three language versions of the book (English, French and German) so in true Swiss style we went with a Latin title: Cartographica Helvetica, or CH for short. Cartographica Helvetica: A Young Explorer's Atlas of Switzerland Hardcover Septemby Diccon Bewes (Author), Dina Christ (Illustrator), Nicola Carpi (Illustrator) 1 rating See all formats and editions Hardcover 38.96 7 Used from 27.21 10 New from 30.04 A Young Reader's Journey to Switzerland in Entertaining Maps. The book is arranged thematically, with chapters covering everything from Swiss history to inventions, native animals to trains, climate change to clocks, women’s rights to what we eat. They also drew all the wonderful pictures and infographics that supplement each of the 20 maps in the book. Instead of old maps, it’s packed with brand new colourful ones, specially created for the book by Dina Christ and Nicola Carpi. But why settle for one map book when you can have two? So I wrote another one. I love them (though you probably know that already if you’ve read Around Switzerland in 80 Maps). The visualisations can also provide valuable information to the map historian about the history of a particular map and its creation.Maps. The visualisations help the map historian to assess the geometric accuracy of historical geographical information before using the data for geo-historical studies. The results are graphical representations of map distortion, such as distortion grids or displacement vectors, as well as statistical and geodetic measures describing the map geometry (e.g., map scale, rotation angle, map projection). Based on these transformed points, the planimetric and geodetic accuracy of the old map can be computationally analysed and various visualisations of space deformation generated. A series of geometric transformations can transform control points of a modern reference map to the coordinate system of an old map. As with every source, when old maps are georeferenced and information is extracted for historical studies, the accuracy and reliability of the geometric and semantic information must be assessed.
