Books

I found the following online textbook listed under course readings for an intermediate GIS class:

http://www.spatialanalysisonline.com/HTML/index.html

Additionally, I ran across this online text:

http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/BookDetail.aspx?bookId=67

There also appears to be a lot of ArcGIS workshops involved in the intermediate level coursework, so maybe it's worth trying to get the school to update our license? If we could make this happen, then I would vote for ordering a workbook such as this one:

http://www.amazon.com/GIS-Tutorial-1-Basic-Workbook/dp/158948259X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409942305&sr=8-1&keywords=GIS+Tutorial+1%3A+Basic+Workbook+with+ArcGIS+10.1

I was also thinking I could skim through this open source book:

http://giscommons.org/

And then there's this one which I could access through the library:

http://web.a.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail/detail?sid=f4208a30-7e7d-4ad5-822a-1a1c5a6095d9%40sessionmgr4004&vid=0&hid=4212&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=nlebk&AN=225164

Read section 2(e) from this on remote sensing:

Another discussion on remote sensing - fairly similar to the above:
