Carta!

Or Logos/Bible! can't support the gorgeous high-definition images? At least my Logos images are pretty smudgy.
We like geology, and zooming in to the archaeological construction blocks, or the hillside views is great. I notice more and more scholarly books are including the specific geological influences (pottery identification, farming, climate, roads, etc).

Okay, Lee, you asked, here it is.
I started another forum thread just on The Sacred Bridge, too. It's awesome.

[Y] Thanks. That was fairly comprehensive and well argued.
The way things are now, Logos is probably waiting in the wings for the third edition, before getting the scoop.

Thanks, Lee, and you're welcome.
Third edition? They just released the second. Not sure how far off that would be....

I appreciate your efforts to provide an extensive review for this great resource. Hopefully some day it will be in Logos.

Sure thing! Agreed.
By the way, even the new L6 Starter package has Paul H. Wright's well-done Rose Then and Now Bible Map Atlas with Biblical Background and Culture.
It is an odd title, indeed, but it was previously published in very similar form as Carta's Greatness, Grace, and Glory--so I guess there is a Carta resource, of sorts, in Logos already!
One bummer, though, is that the images I've seen so far (in the patriarchs section) are not very high-res in Logos.

I am aware of this and appreciate having it in Logos.

I realize that they are not the best but I didn't think they were that bad either. Let's keep hoping for the full Cara atlas.

Now you're making me wonder why it isn't in any of the denominational packages.

There is also another resource that contains 48 maps from the Old MacMillian Bible Atlas. It is the KJV Bible Commentary by Edward Hindson. Here is the link https://www.logos.com/product/1202/kjv-bible-commentary . The maps are black and white and generally low rez but still helpful.

I was not aware of this John. Thanks for pointing it out. I have that original MacMillian Bible Atlas which was a great help to me for years. Although these maps are helpful I would still rather see the updated version in Logos.

I'd just like to add my small voice in support of adding Carta resources to the Faithlife library.

I added the recent Carta volumes 'Echos from the Past' and 'Raging Torrent' from A-Company. Both are in-depth on inscriptions, and the images, transcriptions, and commentary are great. They're so good, I have to order extra sushi to continue reading.

I like sushi too but I'd prefer to eat mine while using Carta with Logos.

Ha. Oh so true. I wonder what the Cartesian issue is, it's been going on so long.
I'm reading http://www.amazon.com/Social-History-Hebrew-Rabbinic-Reference-ebook/dp/B00GGSFZW8 which is an Anchor-Yale and is enjoyable to zoom in on the Carta images to see exactly what is being discussed.

I don't understand how Accordance can work out a deal to offer these resources, but Logos can't. I own the Sacred Bridge in Accordance, but I would buy it again if it became available in Logos. I just don't like using Accordance as much as Logos, plus of course I have most of my other resources in Logos.

Joseph,
From what I've heard from publishers, Logos's price model is sometimes prohibitive for smaller publishers - it is why Kregel doesn't sell with Logos, the amount Kregel gets when selling items on Logos is too low for their liking. Perhaps it is the same here.

I agree, but Logos should be able to work something out. Also, Kregel is now releasing titles in Logos.

I've been wondering the same thing the past few weeks.
I went to the Uservoice link listed above - https://prepub.uservoice.com/forums/183407-general/suggestions/3718024-add-books-from-carta to check on where things stand and it appears to not be working right now.
Anyone know what the problem is?

This looks so good I will probably buy it off Amazon in a few weeks unless we hear something from Logos on it..
I love this site as I am learning about all kinds of books I never even knew about..
Ahhhh my wallet is getting thin....

Something strange seems to be going on for the link used to work fine. Can you check into this Bradley?

I'm not sure why these are being voted on (though I added 3 votes), as I thought Logos' policy was to attempt to procure everything possible. Surely the Carta materials would be something for which Logos would be striving in particular, especially since these materials are already available in a competitor's library.
