Mapping for a Sustainable World
On the International Day of Education 2021 the new book Mapping for a Sustainable World a co-publication by the United Nations and the International Cartographic Association, was published online.
It is published as an open access document according to the CC BY-NC license. Drawing from cartography, the book offers guidelines for mapping geographic datasets related to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by introducing basic principles of map design and use, discussing established best practices and conventions, and explaining how different mapping techniques support understanding of the SDGs. The pdf-version of the book can be downloaded from the page https://www.un-ilibrary.org/content/books/9789216040468. The book was also printed. Printed copies can be obtained from the authors, at ICA conferences or from the ICA Secretary-General.

The world drawn by children. Maps from the Barbara Petchenik International Competitions 2017 & 2019
The National Geographic Institute of Spain has published the book “The World drawn by children. Barbara Petchenik International Competitions 2017 & 2019 / El mundo dibujado por los niños. Concursos Internacionales Barbara Petchenik 2017 y 2019” as a tribute to the 150th anniversary of its foundation.
This book has been created thanks to the valuable contribution of the ICA Commission on Cartography & Children and the remarkable cooperation of the Spanish Society for Cartography, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. However, above all, it could only come into fruition thanks to the wonderful drawings made by children competing in the 2017 and 2019 editions of the international competition. This competition is organised by the ICA and aims to promote creative representation of the world as seen by schoolchildren, to strengthen geographic and cartographic knowledge and to make participants aware of the world in which they live, favouring understanding and preservation.
The pdf-version of the book can be downloaded here (35mb).
More books on the Barbara Petchenik Children’s Map Competition can be found here.
The World of Maps
The World of Maps is a book produced to accompany the International Map Year. The perspective of the book is to broaden the knowledge of cartography and geographic information among the general public and especially among school children. The World of Maps includes individual chapters covering a variety of cartographic topics and issues that form a coherent introduction, reference volume and work-book for those who are interested in investigating the nature of contemporary mapping.
It has been translated to several languages, an overview can be found here.

The Atlas Cookbook
The ICA Commission on Atlases published “The Atlas Cookbook – 10 ingredients how to edit an atlas”. The intention of The Atlas Cookbook is to advise atlas authors in a general way to give an overview over the realization phases, to show how to start a new atlas project (which is always the hardest part), and how to deal with conceptual, organizational, graphical or publishing issues.
The Atlas Cookbook is intended for atlas makers, map producers, and all kind of cartographers; it can be read as a whole, but even just a single chapter can help! The Atlas Cookbook is written at a management level, not in a technical way. Most comments and recommendations apply to current and emerging digital technologies, but many sections are also valid and useful for editing printed atlases.
To get a digital copy, you can download it here. You can download it for free and use it according to the CC license. Additionally, a printed book in a limited edition of 200 copies was produced, supported by ICA and ETH Zurich.
