10. One  reviewer’s  ominous  comment:  
    “Volume  Six  has  the  potential  to  be  
    the  most  contested,  the  most  debated,    
    and  the  most  easily  critiqued  of  all    
    previous  volumes,  since  there  are    
    so  many  in  the  cartographic  community  
    with  living  memory  and  personal  position    
    within  the  material  to  be  covered.”
