Essential Book (1/1 people found this helpful)
Having done a review of this book, I must say that I could hardly wait for it to become available. Sherman does a great job of introducing the GIS tools available using Open Source software, and uses clear, easy to understand real-world examples that non-specialists will easily relate to. For people wishing to move from proprietary mapping tools to Open Source ones, this book will help to make the transition smooth and relatively painless. For more advanced users, it will make a very useful reference book, as it goes into plenty of detail, even tackling command line scripting and other more advanced methods. Congratulations, Gary, on a job well done.
