International GIS Dictionary Rachael McDonnell & Karen Kemp Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are penetrating a wide range of disciplines and, as a result, there is a growing group of professionals and students who need to master the field quickly. As in any specialized field, the jargon and acronyms are largely incomprehensible to the uninitiated, and many words that have a familiar interpretation in everyday language take on a specific meaning in the GIS context. Such an evolving lexicon reflects the dynamism, but also the youth, of this field. The International GIS Dictionary is the first dedicated dictionary available for the GIS community. It includes GIS terms from all over the world and from related disciplines, such as remote sensing, which are becoming increasingly important to people using GIS. Features: Over 500 definitions Informative illustrations Examples to clarify meaning List of commonly used acronyms Fully cross-referenced entries The International GIS Dictionary is an invaluable resource for professionals and students using GIS worldwide.

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.

In a relatively short time Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have spread from being primarily a research tool to higher and subsequently secondary education, and from the researcher to the user. GIS: A Sourcebook for Schools is an easily accessible guide to GIS at an elementary level and provides sufficient background in GIS to ensure a comprehensive working knowledge of the subject. It is written specifically for schoolteachers looking to incorporate GIS into the secondary school curriculum, and will be the essential textbook for all those wishing to gain an introduction to a working knowledge of GIS. The book contains everything that a teacher wanting to implement GIS into the curriculum would need, including glossary of terms, explanation of the fundamentals, definitions and further reading. No other book will be quite as useful as this one.
