Cartography in the European Enlightenment, Volume Four of The History of Cartography, edited by myself and Mary Pedley. Available from the University of Chicago Press, in print and ebook ($500).
Available from the University of Chicago Press in paperback ($30), e-book ($10–30), or cloth ($90).
Some paperback ($38) copies are still available, as well as the ebook, from the University of Chicago Press.
