Whether you’re a total newcomer to coding or an experienced analyst who’s never made a map, Mapping the World with R turns “I-wish-I-could-do-that” into “I-just-did-that.” In crisp and straightforward language, it shows you exactly how to install R, wrangle real-world spatial data, and publish beautiful, ethical maps—step by step, project by project.

3D rendering

The book is so professionally written with very easy-to-adapt R scripts. It makes mapping seem so easy, and the way the scripts are written is easy to follow.

Good introduction to R mapping

Good for beginners in R. About quarter way through, example all work

Suggest next edition might look at Jupyter Notebooks and / or conda environments, as well as R Studio

Quality rating of the Content

This is a superb guide for novice programmers who are just starting to dip their hands in the world of R programming. Recommended book for a Cartographer's transition to making maps with Rstudio.
