Abstract

Abstract The author has put forward, in the past, a definition of cartography as of paying homage to the particular fractal surface we inhabit; of fulfilling an obligation to one of our parents (the other being Father Time) by portraying in all her wonderful oddity this goddess of (roughly speaking) two and a half dimensions. Having read further contributions to the question he suggests another definition: Cartography is the cultivation by graphic means of the compass rose.
