Mapping, Society, and Technology

CC BY-NC (Attribution NonCommercial)   English (United States)

Author(s): Steven Manson

Subject(s): The Arts

Publisher: University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing

Last updated: 24/07/2025

This book is about how to read, use, and create maps. Our exploration of maps will be informed by a contextual understanding of how maps reflect the relationship between society and technology, and how mapping is an essential form of scientific and artistic inquiry. We will also explore how mapping is used to address a variety of societal issues, such as land use planning and political gerrymandering. You will gain insight into the technical underpinnings of mapping as a science approach, complement on-going interest and activities, or provide an applied focus for research or policy.

A Guide to Good Reasoning: Cultivating Intellectual Virtues

CC BY-NC (Attribution NonCommercial)   English

Author(s): David Carl Wilson

Subject(s): Philosophy: epistemology and theory of knowledge

Publisher: University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing

Last updated: 10/07/2025

A Guide to Good Reasoning has been described by reviewers as “far superior to any other critical reasoning text.” It shows with both wit and philosophical care how students can become good at everyday reasoning. It starts with attitude—with alertness to judgmental heuristics and with the cultivation of intellectual virtues. From there it develops a system for skillfully clarifying and evaluating arguments, according to four standards—whether the premises fit the world, whether the conclusion fits the premises, whether the argument fits the conversation, and whether it is possible to tell.
