Archaeological 3D GIS

Archaeological 3D GIS

Archaeological 3D GIS provides archaeologists with a guide to explore and understand the unprecedented opportunities for collecting visualising and analysing archaeological datasets in three dimensions. With platforms allowing archaeologists to link query and analyse in a virtual georeferenced space information collected by different specialists the book highlights how it is possible to re-think aspects of theory and practice which relate to GIS. It explores which questions can be addressed in such a new environment and how they are going to impact the way we interpret the past. By using material from several international case studies such as Pompeii Çatalhöyük as well as prehistoric and protohistoric sites in Southern Scandinavia this book discusses the use of the third dimension in support of archaeological practice. This book will be essential for researchers and scholars who focus on archaeology and spatial analysis and is designed and structured to serve as a textbook for GIS and digital archaeology courses.

Undermining Rural Development With Cheap Credit

Undermining Rural Development With Cheap Credit

Originally published in 1985 twenty-three chapters are brought together in 4 parts dealing with respectively problems in rural finance interest rate policies politics and finance and new directions for rural financial markets. In an introduction it is argued that cheap and abundant credit is often regarded as essential for rural development but that actions taken on the basis of this assumption have given disappointing results. Low-interest policies and the improper use of financial markets are seen as the principal reasons for this. It is recommended that higher and more flexible interest rates are allowed and that little or no attention is given to target loans. Informal lenders are thought to offer valuable services therefore they should not be discouraged. More emphasis should be put on voluntary savings mobilization and access to formal loans by non-farm rural firms. It is concluded that many traditional agricultural credit programmes are counterproductive and that attractive product and input prices together with higher yields would be more powerful in stimulating agricultural development. | Undermining Rural Development With Cheap Credit

GIS Cartography A Guide to Effective Map Design Third Edition

GIS Cartography A Guide to Effective Map Design Third Edition

Since the publication of the bestselling second edition 5 years ago vast and new globally-relevant geographic datasets have become available to cartography practitioners and with this has come the need for new ways to visualize them in maps as well as new challenges in ethically disseminating the visualizations. With new features and significant updates that address these changes this edition remains faithful to the original vision that cartography instruction should be software agnostic. Discussing map design theory and technique rather than map design tools this book focuses on digital cartography and its best practices. This third edition has completely new sections on how to deal with maps that go viral and the ethics therein; new presentation ideas; new features such as amenities climate data and hazards; the new Equal Earth projection; and vector tile design considerations. All chapters are thoroughly updated with new illustrations and new sections for datasets that didn’t exist when the second edition was published as well as new techniques and trends in cartography. New in the third edition: A true textbook written with a friendly style and excellent examples explaining everything from layout design to fonts and colors to specific design considerations for individual feature types to static and dynamic cartography issues. Thoroughly updated with new features such as points of interest climate data hazards and buildings; new projections such as the Equal Earth projection and the Spilhaus projection; and vector tile design considerations such as label placement techniques and tricks for making world-class basemaps. Includes over 70 new map examples that display the latest techniques in cartography. Reflects on new developments in color palettes; visualization patterns; datums; and non-static output media such as animation interaction and large-format cinematic techniques that weren’t available for the second edition. Defines and illustrates new terms that have made their way into the profession over the last few years such as story maps flow maps Dorling cartograms spec sheets bivariate choropleths firefly cartography Tanaka contours and value-by-alpha. In this third edition author Gretchen Peterson takes a don’t let the technology get in the way approach to the presentation focusing on the elements of good design what makes a good map and how to get there rather than specific software tools. She provides a reference that you can thumb through time and again as you create your maps. Copiously illustrated the third edition explores novel concepts that kick-start your pursuit of map-making excellence. The book doesn’t just teach you how to design and create good maps it teaches you how to design and create superior maps. | GIS Cartography A Guide to Effective Map Design Third Edition

Spatial Statistics GeoSpatial Information Modeling and Thematic Mapping

Geospatial information modeling and mapping has become an important tool for the investigation and management of natural resources at the landscape scale. Spatial Statistics: GeoSpatial Information Modeling and Thematic Mapping reviews the types and applications of geospatial information data such as remote sensing geographic information systems (GIS) and GPS as well as their integration into landscape-scale geospatial statistical models and maps. The book explores how to extract information from remotely sensed imagery GIS and GPS and how to combine this with field data—vegetation soil and environmental—to produce a spatial model that can be reconstructed and displayed using GIS software. Readers learn the requirements and limitations of each geospatial modeling and mapping tool. Case studies with real-life examples illustrate important applications of the models. Topics covered in this book include:An overview of the geospatial information sciences and technology and spatial statistics Sampling methods and applications including probability sampling and nonrandom sampling and issues to consider in sampling and plot design Fine and coarse scale variabilitySpatial sampling schemes and spatial patternLinear and spatial correlation statistics including Moran’s I Geary’s C cross-correlation statistics and inverse distance weightingGeospatial statistics analysis using stepwise regression ordinary least squares (OLS) variogram kriging spatial auto-regression binary classification trees cokriging and geospatial models for presence and absence data How to use R statistical software to work on statistical analyses and case studies and to develop a geospatial statistical model | Spatial Statistics GeoSpatial Information Modeling and Thematic Mapping

The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

Linking traditional and local products to a specific area is increasingly felt as a necessity in a globalised market and Geographical Indications (GIs) are emerging as a multifunctional tool capable of performing this and many other functions. This book analyses the evolving nature of EU sui generis GIs by focusing on their key element the origin link and concludes that the history of the product in the broad sense has become a major factor to prove the link between a good and a specific place. For the first time this area of Intellectual Property Law is investigated from three different although interrelated perspectives: the history and comparative assessment of the systems of protection of Indications of Geographical Origin adopted in the European jurisdictions from the beginning of the 20th century; the empirical analysis of the trends emerging from the practice of EUGIs; and the policy debates surrounding them and their importance for the fulfilment of the general goals of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The result is an innovative and rounded analysis of the very nature of the EU Law of GIs that starting from its past investigates the present and the likely future of this Intellectual Property Right. This book provides an interesting and innovative contribution to the field and will be of interest to GI scholars and Intellectual Property students as well as anyone willing to gain a better understanding of this compelling area of law. | The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link
