Re: [OSM-talk] Good book on GIS concepts
This one is a bit technical, but it's a great resource book: http://www.spatialanalysisonline.com/ There's even a free Web version, although I recommend buying a printed version for anyone into GIS Igor On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 4:33 PM, wrote: > Hi, > > Would anyone recommend a good book on GIS/Geodesy/etc that could be used to > understand the underlying concepts behind most GIS applications ? > > I am not looking for 100% theory full of mathematical formulae, but > ideally, something that explains the main idea behind the concepts > (projections, layers, coordinate systems, ...) and acronyms (WFS, ..)/ > technologies.

Re: [OSM-talk] Good book on GIS concepts
I recently read and enjoyed "A Primer of GIS: Fundamental Geographic and Cartographic Concepts" when I was looking for the same sort of thing: http://www.amazon.com/Primer-GIS-Fundamental-Geographic-Cartographic/dp/1593855656 That said, I chose this after some online research & haven't read very widely in the area. -Randy On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 10:33 AM, wrote: > > Hi, > > Would anyone recommend a good book on GIS/Geodesy/etc that could be used to > understand the underlying concepts behind most GIS applications ? > > I am not looking for 100% theory full of mathematical formulae, but ideally, > something that explains the main idea behind the concepts (projections, > layers, coordinate systems, ...) and acronyms (WFS, ..)/ technologies.

[OSM-talk] Good book on GIS concepts
Hi, Would anyone recommend a good book on GIS/Geodesy/etc that could be used to understand the underlying concepts behind most GIS applications ? I am not looking for 100% theory full of mathematical formulae, but ideally, something that explains the main idea behind the concepts (projections, layers, coordinate systems, ...) and acronyms (WFS, ..)/ technologies. In other words, I need something that gives me the big picture.. I am already starting to create my own understanding of these concepts, but I am pretty sure things would be smoother if I could just find a good book to read :) thanks, Sami Dalouche ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
