Books on Map Projections on the Internet

U ovom prikazu skrećemo pozornost na neke knjige o kartografskim projekcijama koje su prvobitno objavljene u tisku, a potom digitalizirane i besplatno stavljene na mrežu. Neke od tih knjiga nude se na mreži kao Google e-knjige. Google godinama skuplja knjige kojima su istekla autorska prava i digitalizira ih. Fotografira se svaka stranica te zatim spaja u jednu veliku fotografiju iz koje se izvlači tekst softverom OCR. Google čuva originalnu digitalnu fotografiju u svom arhivu, a izvučeni tekst pretvara u formate HTML, PDF ili EPUB. Google danas nudi više od milijun besplatnih e-knjiga (http://www.google.com/books).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 morethan a million free e-books (http://www.google.com/books)
