________________________________________ From: GeoForAll <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Kurt Menke <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 25 July 2016 6:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [Geo4All] Discover QGIS out in print! Hello! I'm excited to announce Discover QGIS is out in print! This is the workbook for the award winning GeoAcademy curriculum. It is essentially 5 college courses full of labs! It comes with all the data, challenge exercises and solution files. Great for use in the classroom. I hope this is a useful resource for many educators. Originally written for QGIS v2.4, the GeoAcademy material in this workbook has been updated for use with QGIS v2.14, Inkscape v0.91, and GRASS GIS v7.0.3. This is the most up-to-date version of the GeoAcademy curriculum. Thought was given to improving the content and organization for both hardcopy and electronic readers. The GeoAcademy data was reorganized to match the chapter structure of this book. Changes were made to several exercises, reflecting the newly updated integration of GRASS GIS with GIS that came with QGIS v2.10. Portions that include working with GRASS vector maps include both GRASS 6 and GRASS 7 versions of the exercise databases. The portions using the free software Multi-Spec were rewritten using QGIS. Efforts were also made to incorporate some of the exciting new QGIS features such as Live Layer Effects into the Challenge Assignments. https://locatepress.com/books https://www.amazon.com/Discover-Qgis-Kurt-Menke/dp/0989421767/ref=zg_bsnr_4053_36 Cheers, Kurt ************************** Kurt Menke, GISP Bird's Eye View www.BirdsEyeViewGIS.com<http://www.birdseyeviewgis.com/> Work: 505-265-0243 Cell: 505-362-1776 This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
