Designed
Maps: A Sourcebook for GIS Users
This sequel to the highly successful Designing Maps, offers a
graphics-intensive presentation of published maps, providing
cartographic examples that GIS users can then adapt for their own
needs. Each chapter characterizes a common design decision and
includes
a demonstration map, which is annotated with specific information
needed to reproduce the design, such as text fonts, sizes and styles;
line weights, colors, and patterns; marker symbol fonts, sizes, and
colors; and fill colors and patterns. Visual hierarchies and the
purpose of each map are considered with the audience in mind, drawing
a
clear connection between intent and design. The book also includes a
valuable task index that explains what ArcGIS 9 tools to use for
desired cartographic effects. From experienced cartographers to those
who make GIS maps only occasionally, all GIS users will find this book
to be an indispensable resource. From ESRI Press, 2008.
Encyclopedia
of GIS (Springer Reference)
The Encyclopedia of GIS provides a comprehensive and
authoritative guide, contributed by experts and peer-reviewed for
accuracy, and alphabetically arranged for convenient access. The
entries explain key software and processes used by geographers and
computational scientists. Major overviews are provided for nearly 200
topics: Geoinformatics, Spatial Cognition, and Location-Based Services
and more. Shorter entries define specific terms and concepts. The
reference will be published as a print volume with abundant black and
white art, and simultaneously as an XML online
reference
with hyperlinked
citations, cross-references, four-color art, links to web-based maps,
and other interactive features. From Springer, 2007.
Hyperspectral
Remote Sensing of Tropical and Sub-Tropical Forests
While frequently used in temperate environments, hyperspectral sensors
and data are still a novelty in the tropics. Exploring the potential
of
hyperspectral remote sensing for assessing ecosystem characteristics,
Hyperspectral
Remote Sensing of Tropical and Sub-Tropical Forests focuses on the
complex and unique set of challenges involved in using this technology
and the data it provides. From CRC, 2008.
