                       Teaching Geographic Information Science and Technology in
                       Higher Education
                       Editors David Unwin, Nicholas Tate, Kenneth Foote, and David DiBiase
                       This collection of articles grew out of a series of meetings that began with sessions at the
                       Association of American Geographers annual meeting. It charts the history and focuses
                       on the challenges of teaching both the science and technology of the rapidly evolving field
                       of geographic information to students who have goals that range from improving critical
                       thinking skills to acquiring a powerful research tool to getting a job. Sections of the book are
                       devoted to curriculum and course design and various perspectives on teaching geographic
                       information science and technology (GIS&T) in a variety of settings. It covers the use of vir-
                       tual worlds, distance and web e-learning, and the future of GIS&T. The editors underline
                       that the collaborative approach of educators in this field has been one of its distinguishing
                       characteristics and strengths. This community of practice continues helping educators suc-
                       ceed in this demanding environment. Wiley-Blackwell, 2012, 496 pp., ISBN: 978-0470748565

                       Colorado: Mapping the Centennial State through History; Rare and
                       Unusual Maps from the Library of Congress
                       By Vincent Virga and Stephen Grace
                       In his introduction to this book, coauthor Stephen Grace observes, “Maps can help us find
                       our way, not only through the mountains but through the past.” Colorado: Mapping the
                       Centennial State through History is a volume in the Mapping States through History series
                       produced in collaboration with the Library of Congress. Each volume tells the history of a
                       state through its geography. Organized topically and in roughly chronological order, this col-
                       lection of historical maps with commentary tells the story of an area of North America that
                       became the state of Colorado. Of particular interest are maps in the “Native People” chap-
                       ter. A map created by the explorer John Wesley Powell maps the linguistic stocks of native
                       peoples. Another shows the extermination of the American bison, a key event in subduing
                       Indians in the state. Chapters contain historical maps relating to exploration of the state,
                       the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, the expansion of the railroad network, towns, the boom and bust
                       cycle of mining, and natural resources management. These maps illustrate the interplay of
                       historical events and geography, providing a greater apprehension of both. Globe Pequot,
                       2009, 128 pp., ISBN: 978-0762745319

                       NumPy 1.5 Beginner’s Guide
                       By Ivan Idris
                       This learn-by-doing book on NumPy, the open source Python library for scientific comput-
                       ing, is written from a user rather than a contributing developer standpoint. After covering
                       the fundamentals in the first two chapters, the balance of the book is devoted to applying
                       NumPy. Each chapter is highly structured with tasks, explanations, quizzes, and practical
                       challenges. PACKT Publishing, 2011, 234 pp., ISBN: 978-1849515306
