Mapping in the Cloud

Dr. Peterson is my professor of Cartography and GIS at the University of Nebraska at Omaha- so I was initially leery of being assigned this book (doesn't it seem a bit fi$hy when professors assign their own book?). However, immediately those concerns were quieted as I read the text. He is an expert in software mapping and the theory behind it, and this text brings old and new considerations of cartography into one illuminating volume. If you're just starting out learning about GIS and its applications, or are a seasoned veteran- this tome will help you understand the deeper implications of cloud mapping in an easy to follow, exercise supported fashion. Dr. Peterson has created online assignments to help the reader learn the practice of cloud mapping, all hosted from his own website free of charge.

This is good.
