Book Description

The terrestrial space is the place of interaction of natural and social systems. The Cartography is an essential tool to understand the complexity of these systems, their interaction and evolution. This brings the cartography to an important place in the modern world.

The book presents several contributions at different areas and activities showing the importance of the cartography to the perception and organization of the territory. Learning with the past or understanding the present the use of cartography is presented as a way of looking to almost all themes of the knowledge.

  A general introduction with to maps, security, topographic map symbols, grids, the use of overlays, aerial photographs, land navigation, use of compass, orienteering, etc. . Very well illustrated, you are lost without it.

• Map Projections Used by the United States Geological Survey

  Under each of the sixteen projections described, the nonmathematical phases are presented first, without interruption by formulas. They are followed by the formulas and tables, and the nonmathematical discussion of the next projection.

• Nature of Geographic Information Systems (David DiBiase)

  The purpose of this book is to promote understanding of the Geographic Information Science and Technology enterprise (GIS&T, also known as 'geospatial'). It explores the nature of geographic information.

• An Introductory Textbook on Geographic Information Systems

  This textbook is an introduction to GIS, but most of the chapter's concepts are also applicable to other geotechnologies including remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), Internet mapping, and virtual globes.

• Geographic Information System Basics (Jonathan Campbell)

  From the melting of the polar ice caps to privacy issues associated with mapping, this book provides a gentle, yet substantive, introduction to the use and application of digital maps, mapping, and GIS.

• Principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

  This book is designed to provide students in a first or second GIS course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use of GIS. It strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts and hands-on applications.
