How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive design and produce maps in a legible clear and coherent manner drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography. This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who are beginning a course of study in geospatial sciences or who wish to begin producing their own maps. While the book assumes no a priori knowledge or experience with geospatial software it may also serve GIS analysts and technicians who wish to explore the principles of cartographic design. The first part of the book explores the key decisions behind every map with the aim of providing the reader with a solid foundation in fundamental cartography concepts. Chapters 1 through 3 review foundational mapping concepts and some of the decisions that are a part of every map. This is followed by a discussion of the guiding principles of cartographic design in Chapter 4—how to start thinking about putting a map together in an effective and legible form. Chapter 5 covers map projections the process of converting the curved earth’s surface into a flat representation appropriate for mapping. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the use of text and color respectively. Chapter 8 reviews trends in modern cartography to summarize some of the ways the discipline is changing due to new forms of cartographic media that include 3D representations animated cartography and mobile cartography. Chapter 9 provides a literature review of the scholarship in cartography. The final component of the book shifts to applied technical concepts important to cartographic production covering data quality concepts and the acquisition of geospatial data sources (Chapter 10) and an overview of software applications particularly relevant to modern cartography production: GIS and graphics software (Chapter 11). Chapter 12 concludes the book with examples of real-world cartography projects discussing the planning data collection and design process that lead to the final map products. This book aspires to introduce readers to the foundational concepts—both theoretical and applied—they need to start the actual work of making maps. The accompanying website offers hands-on exercises to guide readers through the production of a map—from conception through to the final version—as well as PowerPoint slides that accompany the text. | How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

Leading with Compassion How to Make Leadership Authentic by Managing with Integrity

Leading with Compassion How to Make Leadership Authentic by Managing with Integrity

Business schools teach the transactional tools one needs to work in business. They teach various strategic planning and decision-making models such as SPACE or SWOT or decision trees or weighted grids. They teach about the various functions of an organization financial ratios and breakeven analyses. And they may even have a class on business ethics. But those tools are more about knowing where the business-case boundaries are as a risk prevention measure and do not help one to think about how they should comport themselves as a leader. This book is about helping you to become your best self and helping those around you to achieve their best. Inherently it’s about authenticity integrity and empathy and how these simple traits can lead to high performance. The book explores ways to make our leadership more authentic and to lead with integrity. It discusses how to mentor employees and how this can lead to higher-performing teams and more successful organizations. The book is organized around four major constructs. The first is about personal leadership. It starts with honesty and integrity. That provides the basis for an empathetic leadership style. This is one that helps to engage followers and brings them along because they want to come along for the journey rather than feeling forced. That is the nature of the second construct: building and maintaining high-performing teams. This is then the basis for building a trusting culture. Change is all around us and that can be exhausting. Building a culture of trust is the first step toward building an agile organizational culture. That is the third construct. Finally the last is a message of simple optimism. There are many challenges facing society today but with thoughtful engaging leaders there is hope that we can collectively rise to the challenge. | Leading with Compassion How to Make Leadership Authentic by Managing with Integrity

Make Better Strategic Decisions How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters

Make Better Strategic Decisions How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters

Every day we hear of serious errors of judgement that result in organisational disaster. Why do seemingly successful businesses NGOs or even political parties fall prey to irrevocable governance breakdowns or worse still criminal malpractice? By prompting readers to think deeply about strategic decision-making human behaviour and cognitive biases this book offers a disciplined objective and thoughtful approach to making better decisions. Every strategic problem is fundamentally a journey into the unknown which involves a unique combination of duration scale external and internal dynamics and personal motivations. Rarely is a strategic decision solved by saying ‘If a situation is A then the solution is B. ’ The book explores how to develop a strong foundation for problem resolving – rather than simplistic problem-solving – by strengthening competence so that decisions are made wisely. The case of Carillion plc the second-largest construction group in the United Kingdom that went bankrupt in January 2018 is used to explore how a large and profitable company collapsed so dramatically when it was run by an experienced board and advised by three of the Big Four accounting firms. Professor Jeremy N. White presents a clear strategic toolkit for better strategic decision-making. This book will appeal to senior managers who are interested in techniques for making better strategic decisions. The lessons from the failure of Carillion plc are applicable to corporate leaders in addition to politicians and those who run not-for-profit organisations. | Make Better Strategic Decisions How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters

Improving Schools with Blended Learning How to Make Technology Work in the Modern Classroom

Improving Schools with Blended Learning How to Make Technology Work in the Modern Classroom

Improving Schools with Blended Learning is specifically designed to address the important issues needed to successfully modernise education within the context of technological change. It does this by first providing a clear roadmap for designing Blended Learning environments able to respond to the technological imperatives challenging schools at present and then illustrating this roadmap via specific original research that details the 'how to' aspects of a successful technology-based design process. School leaders teachers teacher education students and researchers will all find highly relevant information about how to manage for disruption in the new and informative approach to Blended Learning (BL) they will discover in this book. This book arose from two different research projects the authors have been pursuing over the last 3–5 years including school improvement research and Blended Learning research designed to investigate the role of technology in effective teaching and learning. By combining the insights gained from these two different research areas this book is able to present a novel understanding of BL that is both insightful and clearly evidence-based. Improving Schools with Blended Learning also provides several original contributions to specific knowledge in the areas of BL and school improvement that most educators will find highly useful including the use of BL schemas a clear and extended BL continuum how to measure and evaluate the success of BL how to scaffold teacher ICT knowledge and skills and a specific process for contextualising applied BL in relation to the ‘disruption’ imperatives of the Knowledge Economy. | Improving Schools with Blended Learning How to Make Technology Work in the Modern Classroom
