Admission is free. <br /> <br />Imus will discuss his work and the field of classical <br />cartography, the type of map-making that explains <br />geography, which is an approach not traditional in <br />North America. According to Imus, “The goal of the <br />Essential Geography of the United States of America is <br />to reveal this country’s basic geographic sculpture so <br />more people can see its intricacy, beauty, and value.” <br /> <br />Slate magazine called The Essential Geography "the <br />greatest paper map of the United States you'll ever see." <br />According to writer Barry Lopez, “Like a beautifully <br />illustrated manuscript, the map engages both sides of <br />the human brain.” <br /> <br />Dave Imus founded Imus Geographics in 1983, <br />originally working under contract for street map <br />publishers, including Rand McNally. His interests <br />expanded to making maps of scenic areas in Oregon, and then to other areas, in recent years in partnership with <br />cartographer Pat Dunlavey. He has won top national honors in ACSM/CaGIS (Cartography and Geographic Information <br />Society of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping) annual map design competitions for a number of projects. <br /> <br />For more information, contact the Eugene Public Library at 541-682-8316 or www.eugene-or.gov/library. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />January 29, 2015 <br />
