Smarter Government: How to Govern for Results in the Information Age<\/a><\/h2>\r\nBy Martin O\u2019Malley\r\n\r\nFirst, as the mayor of Baltimore, Maryland, from 1999 to 2007 and then as a two-term governor of Maryland, Martin O\u2019Malley was known as a leader who demanded accountability and measured results. He introduced data-driven government reporting and management programs such as CitiStat, StateStat, and BayStat.\r\n\r\nIn his new book from Esri Press, Smarter Government: How to Govern for Results in the Information Age, O\u2019Malley shares stories that illustrate the mind-set and strategies that made his tenure in public office so successful. As he notes in the introduction, \u201cThis book is not so much a user\u2019s manual for Stat or GIS but rather a practitioner\u2019s guide for collaborative leadership in the Information Age.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn the Information Age, O\u2019Malley believes the public\u2019s expectations of openness and transparency in government have increased because the gap between what leaders know and what the people know and when they know it has virtually disappeared. Consequently, maintaining public trust is much more problematic.\r\n\r\nTo be effective, elected officials must be good at governing and managing and lead with a new emphasis on building collaboration. For this new way of leading to work well, problems must be made visible, solutions adopted, and results measured. This requires innovation in both leadership and technology.\r\n\r\n\"Now, thanks to new technologies\u2014primarily, [GIS] and the Internet of Things [IoT]\u2014these issues can all be mapped, managed, and measured with greater speed and accuracy than ever before,\" said O\u2019Malley. \"City services can be delivered with greater openness and transparency than ever before. Our governments can operate with greater efficiency and effectiveness than ever before.\u201d\r\n\r\nBeyond the smooth delivery of government services, O\u2019Malley describes a smarter way to achieve public sector progress that also includes preserving and restoring natural resources, such as air, water and land, and protecting the well-being of residents, whose education, health, and safety depend on government. How do government leaders discharge this responsibility? \u201cWe do this by setting clear goals, measuring progress, and getting things done,\u201d says O\u2019Malley.

Connections and Content: Reflections on Networks and the History of Cartography<\/a><\/h2>\r\nBy Mark Monmonier\r\n\r\nCartographer and author Mark Monmonier, who is best known for his book How to Lie with Maps, shares his insights about the relationships between networks and maps in this collection of essays. The unifying thread that runs through the book is that behind every great map is a network and behind every great network is a map.\r\n\r\nMonmonier is a distinguished professor of geography at Syracuse University\u2019s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the author of 20 books. He was the editor of Cartography in the Twentieth Century, an encyclopedia published as volume six in the History of Cartography series. His awards include the American Geographical Society\u2019s O. M. Miller Medal (2001), the German Cartographic Society\u2019s Mercator Medal (2009), and induction into URISA\u2019s (Urban and Regional Information Systems Association) GIS Hall of Fame (2016).
