NACIS 2016 Presentation Steven R. Holloway, toMake Press Map-makers are hiding behind the rule-books, and the cartographic-gps-gis-image machine cranks on. To step aside/outside and practice the fourth precept of 'Right MAP Making,' "deep listening through direct-contact" takes not only time & effort, but is central to the integrity of the map-maker and map-making. Integrity and transformation come through listening to our anxiety and awakening to confront the long shadow that casts itself over today's maps; 'Keep the Earth Round.'
