Very soon ESRI Press will be releasing the 8th edition of “Map Use: Reading, Analysis, Interpretation”.  The e-book will be available September 19th and the print book on November 7th.

Map Use is a comprehensive, foundational textbook, providing students with the knowledge and skills to read and understand maps, and offers professional cartographers a thorough reference resource.  With nearly 600 full color maps, photographs, and graphics that illustrate the concepts behind communicating with maps, the book also includes an extensive glossary that helps define key topics.  This new edition also covers new developments in mapping, GPS, and GIS technology.

The price on release will be hefty, $79.99 for the e-book and $99.99 for the print book, but I bet you will be able to get it for less if you wait closer to the holidays at the end of the year.  If you find a better price, please add a comment to the post!
