Many thanks to Sergey Bolshakov and Mokandil for some of this update’s submissions!

I want to again give a special thanks to Niels Ohlsen for helping me vet books and adding them to the collection. Niels is the co-organiser of the Dataviz meetup in Bremen, Germany. If you’re in the area, why not look them up on LinkedIn and Meetup?

I’m applying for a grant to upgrade the Big Book of R. Have a look at the details and if you like, take two minutes to submit your statement of support!

Introduction to urban accessibility

by Rafael H. M. Pereira, Daniel Herszenhut

The aim of this book is to equip its readers with the fundamental concepts, the data analysis skills and the processing tools needed to perform urban accessibility analyses and transportation projects impact assessments. The book was written with the problems faced by public managers, policy makers, students and researchers working on urban and transportation planning in mind. Hence, the book is essentially practical. All the material in the book is presented with reproducible examples using open data sets and the R programming language.
