I've been working in the field of GIS for a few years now, and there are some disciplines of knowledge where I lack a good degree of education.
My educational background is that I've studied computer engineering, and completed a bachelor degree, so I'm well at ease with any technical aspect of the job that comes up. Setting up servers, programming/scripting etc.
But what I lack is a good solid knowledge about cartography, geodesy and similar topics that fall within the domain of geography, which is of course a central aspect of the job.
Some subjects I would like to know more about are, for example, cartography, geodesy, datum, reference ellipsoid, the geoid, map projections, spatial reference systems.
So what I would like you to do is to point me to some good literature and other resources where I can learn about these topics. Don't be afraid of suggesting any authoritative "bibles" that hold Humanity's accumulated knowledge in these fields, I'd rather choose that instead of some beginners-level book that only gives an introductory knowing.
