Here you will find links to educational materials for geo-referenced visualization produced by (or with involvement of) Commission members. These include textbooks, hypermedia courseware/lectureware, CD-ROMs, etc. Web Cartography ITC Netherlands. The purpose of this book is to provide information on the new opportunities and challenges offered by the WWW for cartography and related geosciences. It describes the developments, changes and prospects of the mapping discipline in the framework of the WWW. How Maps Work Penn State University, USA How Maps Work offers a general framework for the study of maps and map use, a plan for finding out why particular maps do or do not work in particular ways, and (perhaps) an approach through which we might achieve "better" maps. The goal of How Maps Work is to provide a foundation for building this understanding. Thematic Cartography and Visualization Univeristy of Kansas This comprehensive book bridges the evolution in cartography by presenting both traditional methods and recently developed computer-based cartographic techniques. Covers a range of mapping methods, including traditional univariate mapping methods; recently developed approaches for visualizing spatial data; and bivariate and multivariate mapping techniques. The book also emphasizes computer-based symbolization reflecting the shift toward technology. Cartography: Visualization of Spatial Data ITC Netherlands. This comprehensive and popular text covers many topics including: Geographic information systems and maps, data acquisition, GIS applications, Statistical mapping, Map design and Cartography at work: maps as decision tools. Interactive and Animated Cartography University of Nebraska - Omaha, USA Described here are Michael Peterson's text,Interactive and Animated Cartography and a software package for creation of interactive and animated choropleth maps (MacChoro). There is also a link to an overview of a seminar dealing with cartography on the Internet. Some Truth with Maps Penn State University, USA Described here is a small text, Some Truth with Maps: A Primer on Symbolization and Design. The text is to introduce existing and potential users of GIS and microcomputer mapping packages to cartographic symbolization and design issues, problems, and approaches. It contains an introduction to maps as visualization tools and a chapter on visualization quality and the representation of uncertainty. Visualization in Modern Cartography Penn State University, USA & Carleton University, Canada Described here is an edited collection of papers (primarily by Commission members) dealing with a range of issues in the visualization of geo-referenced data. The papers range from conceptual through discussion of visualization tool development, to description of actual and potential applications for geo-referenced visualization tools.
