Books on Map Projections on the Internet

Nedjeljko Frančula

Abstract


In this review the attention will be drawn to some books on map projections which had been printed first and then digitized and uploaded to the web. Some of these books are offered on the web as Google e-books. For years, Google has been collecting books whose copyrights have been expired and digitizing them. Each page is photographed and joined into one big photograph from which the text is extracted by the OCR software. Google keeps the original digital photograph in its archive and converts the extracted text into HTML, PDF or EPUB file format. Today Google offers more
than a million free e-books (http://www.google.com/books).
