![]() ![]() The authors, once again, take readers from 'zero to hero', updating the now standard text to further enable practical R applications in GIS, spatial analyses, spatial statistics, web-scraping and more. This Atlas offers a driver's seat-perspective for a test-drive of the future.Īn Introduction to R for Spatial Analysis and Mapping by Chris Brunsdon Lex Comber This is a new edition of the accessible and student-friendly ′how to′ for anyone using R for the first time, for use in spatial statistical analysis, geocomputation and digital mapping. The models and maps presented aim to help anyone understand key processes and outcomes of complex systems dynamics, including which human skills are needed in an artificial intelligence-empowered economy what progress in science and technology is likely to be made and how policymakers can future-proof regions or nations. Using advanced data visualizations to introduce different types of computational models, Atlas of Forecasts demonstrates how models can inform effective decision-making in education, science, technology, and policymaking. Atlas of Forecasts, from the creator of Atlas of Science and Atlas of Knowledge, shows how we can use data to predict, communicate, and ultimately attain desirable futures. Data models and visualizations offer a way to understand and intelligently manage complex, interlinked systems in science and technology, education, and policymaking. To envision and create the futures we want, society needs an appropriate understanding of the likely impact of alternative actions. Full of facts that will confound you, inform you, and ultimately empower you, Terra Incognita guides readers to a new place of understanding, rather than to a physical location.Ītlas of forecasts : modeling and mapping desirable futures by Katy Borner Forecasting the future with advanced data models and visualizations. The book traces the paths of peoples, cities, wars, climates and technologies, all on a global scale. Learn about: fires in the arctic the impact of sea level rise on cities around the world the truth about immigration - and why fears in the West are a myth the counter-intuitive future of population rise the miracles of health and education that are waiting around the corner, and the reality about inequality, and how we end it. Based on decades of research, and combining mesmerising, state-of-the-art satellite maps with enlightening and passionately argued analysis, Ian and Robert chart humanity's impact on the planet, and the ways in which we can make a real impact to save it, and to thrive as a species. But as Albert Einstein once said, 'you can't use old maps to explore a new world.' And now, when the world is changing faster than ever before, our old maps are no longer fit for purpose. From the moment homo sapiens learnt to communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings. It would be my desert island choice' Martin Rees 'Fascinating, beautiful, alarming and revelatory use of mapping and infographics' Stephen Fry on EarthTime maps 'An indispensable read' Arianna Huffington From the global impact of the Coronavirus to exploring the vast spread of the Australian bushfires, join authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah as they trace the ways in which our world has changed and the ways in which it will continue to change over the next hundred years. Terra incognita : 100 maps to survive the next 100 years by Ian Goldin Robert Muggah 'Amazing. ![]()
