Books on My Radar this Week



This book has been well received by the GIS-learner community. It is a step-by-step manual type of book that takes you through the basics. If you want your hand to be held while exploring ArcGIS 10, this is probably the best book to get. No, I don’t have this book myself (let’s really hope I’ve got the basics down by now!) but if it’s anything like the one I used Way Back When, it won’t do you wrong.


This book has been named in many different forums lately. It’s a classic and was re-published by Esri Press last November. You’ll see it get mentioned from time to time on CartoTalk and here’s the newest mention that I’ve come across – LinkedIn discussion on the need for good cartography.

Don’t forget about my three books:

A review of this is supposed to come out in a Dutch magazine soon.

Colors For Maps and Type For Maps
A review of these may make it into the next GISCI newsletter.

A Mystery Book
I have an idea for the next ebook but unfortunately am not quite sure how to implement it at this time. I’d like it to be an interactive ebook with many very short video clips (10 seconds each, one per page, about 50-70 pages long). Hopefully something can be accomplished on that front soon.
