Sinossi
Science maps that can help us understand and navigate the immense amount of results generated by today's science and technology.
Cartographic maps have guided our explorations for centuries, allowing us to navigate the world. Science maps have the potential to guide our search for knowledge in the same way, allowing us to visualize scientific results. Science maps help us navigate, understand, and communicate the dynamic and changing structure of science and technology—help us make sense of the avalanche of data generated by scientific research today. Atlas of Science, featuring more than thirty full-page science maps, fifty data charts, a timeline of science-mapping milestones, and 500 color images, serves as a sumptuous visual index to the evolution of modern science and as an introduction to “the science of science”—charting the trajectory from scientific concept to published results.
Atlas of Science, based on the popular exhibit, “Places & Spaces: Mapping Science”, describes and displays successful mapping techniques. The heart of the book is a visual feast: Claudius Ptolemy's Cosmographia World Map from 1482; a guide to a PhD thesis that resembles a subway map; “the structure of science” as revealed in a map of citation relationships in papers published in 2002; a visual periodic table; a history flow visualization of the Wikipedia article on abortion; a globe showing the worldwide distribution of patents; a forecast of earthquake risk; hands-on science maps for kids; and many more. Each entry includes the story behind the map and biographies of its makers.
Not even the most brilliant minds can keep up with today's deluge of scientific results. Science maps show us the landscape of what we know.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Risse. Cartographic maps have long guided our explorations, and science maps can similarly help us navigate the complex landscape of knowledge in science and technology. They enable us to visualize scientific results, making sense of the vast data generated by research today. This work features over thirty full-page science maps, fifty data charts, a timeline of science-mapping milestones, and 500 color images, serving as a visual index to the evolution of modern science and an introduction to "the science of science." Based on the exhibit "Places & Spaces: Mapping Science," it showcases effective mapping techniques. Highlights include Claudius Ptolemy's 1482 Cosmographia World Map, a subway map-style guide to a PhD thesis, a citation relationship map from 2002, a periodic table, a flow visualization of the Wikipedia article on abortion, a globe of global patent distribution, earthquake risk forecasts, and interactive science maps for kids. Each entry tells the story behind the map and includes biographies of its creators. In an age of overwhelming scientific output, science maps illuminate the landscape of our knowledge. Ongoing exhibitions are hosted by the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C., the Institute for Research Information and Quality Assurance in Bonn, Germany, and Storm Hall at San Diego State College.
