Abstract
In a reflection on cartographic practice in British geography published at the time the research presented in this thesis started, Dodge, M., & Perkins, C. (2008). Reclaiming the map: British geography and ambivalent cartographic practice. Environment and Planning A, 40, 1271–1276, p. 1272) stated that [t]here are few PhDs that explicitly focus on mapping in the UK.

Worldmapper will be introduced in more detail in Sect. 2.5.
