Final book which I weirdly never touched as an UG as I had ruled it out because of colour content. As a postdoc I ended up working on the books teaching materials, but generally is still my favorite GIS intro. The first few chapters are classics and fundamentally shaped how I see GIS and GISc.

I was given this book by Stewart, Martin and Chris 3 months into my PhD as part of a workshop on GWR hosted at UCSB. This provided an excellent reader on this particular approach, which at the time was my first foray into more sophisticated statistical methods.

This was another UG book that I read. Probably the most niche topic for a book that I have ever read, but contains everything that you need to know about the fundamentals of locating things by postcode! Foundational stuff if you are in the UK.

This one got me interested in research as an UG. By complete chance I end up doing a PhD in the lab where Martin D was based a couple of years later. This is still a fascinating read from a pre social media era!

Happy GIS Day… a few of my favorite books which got me interested in GIS and spatial analysis more generally. This first one was my first intro to GIS as my UG textbook. At the time I liked the fact it was in B&W. Very good pedagogic content.

The new immersive route view on google maps directions is amazing; appearing like an annotated drone flight over 3D tiles! #gischat
