Any chance we'll see some of these Carta materials in Logos? I always see these at SBL and think "wow, those are great visuals."

Or perhaps The Sacred Bridge?

Sacred Bridge!

They also have a couple of nice books I would not mind having in my Logos library. Ahituv's Echoes From The Past and Yardeni's The Book of Hebrew Script.
The Book of Hebrew Script.
Could be nice with: "Specimens of Mediaeval Hebrew Scripts" Beit Arie, Yardeni, Engel et al. (The Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities) but I am not sure how many Logos users are interested in Hebrew scripts and manuscripts...
Ben ... have you sent these suggestions to suggest@logos.com?
YES!!! PLEASE!!!
I'll buy in a heartbeat.
In fact, the idea of suggesting The Illustrated Atlas of Jerusalem has been in my head a couple of times the last few days. Just not when I was at the computer.
(And if you don't put these in prepub soon I'll be seriously tempted to buy you-know-what and the-link-that-has-now-been-removed! [;)] )
I have indeed sent these to suggest@logos.com
I also sent an email to Carta, and got a very positive response that seemed to indicate the ball was in Logos' court, so...
Has everyone else sent this in to suggest@logos.com?
Yes, please! [Y]
Definitely interested!!
I'm definitely in!
I too would definitely buy this. I have it in hardback, but if it was in Logos, I could use it in my classes. It is such a great classroom tool. Send the pictures to powerpoint, and excerpt important parts of the text for your notes accompanying the powerpoint slides.

Bump! I also came across this one recently, which would be awesome to have in Logos:
Carta’s Illustrated History of Christianity (200 maps, 240 illustrations)

Another yes [Y]
Bump....would like to see the Carta Bible Atlas on Logos.
Please add everything Carta publishes to Logos! Need I remind you that a different certain Bible program has already done so? [:^)]
Here is an example of a fantastic resource from Carta not yet mentioned:

As I recall, this thread was started on the very day that program announced the Carta resources (certainly not many days after), and as you can see from my first post the OP originally included a direct link to that announcement. So I think they know. [:D]
The Illustrated Atlas of Jerusalem
I see this has now been updated: The Carta Jerusalem Atlas (Formerly Illustrated Atlas of Jerusalem).
Another one that looks interesting is Carta's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Holy Temple.
I've never used the Carta Atlas but your post reminded me of my favorite atlas that I have ever used.
I just wrote a suggestion to Logos. – The Macmillan BibleAtlas but Yohanon Aharoni and Michael Avi-Yonah. What I love about this atlas is that it has specific maps for most of the major Bible events that would benefit from maps.
http://www.amazon.ca/Macmillan-Bible-Atlas-Yohanan-Aharoni/dp/0025006053
This by far is the best Bible Atlas that I have owned andwould love to see it in Logos.
Can anyone compare the Carta with the Macmillan?

This is too funny. I did some more research and I think that it is the same book - just with a revised title.
It looks like The Macmillan Bible Atlas is an older version of The Carta Bible Atlas - 5th Revised and Updated Edition.
That's the same thing that I discovered above. I have the fourth edition (1977) that I purchased when I was in Bible College. This is an amazing resource!
I originally contacted suggest@logos.com to suggest the Macmillian Bible Atlas and then recontacted them after I found out that it was the same resource.
That's the same thing that I discovered above.
Your posts were a bit unclear. You never said what Carta atlas you were comparing with, and your reply was to my post that mentioned the Jerusalem atlas, not the Bible one.

Sorry for the confusion.
I would also buy their Bible Atlas

Thank you for your kind words. We at Carta are grateful.

The Macmillan Bible Atlas is the English version of the original Hebrew The Carta Bible Atlas (1964). In 2000 rights to The Macmillan Bible Atlas reverted to Carta Jerusalem, and is now available in it's 5th, thoroughly revised and updated edition (2011). As to the "best" Bible Atlas, in 2006 Carta published The Sacred Bridge: Carta's Atlas of the Biblical World, another unsurpassed title. For details please visit http://carta-jerusalem.com/
Please note that the Carta line has been enriched by 2 atlases, equal and in parts superior to The Carta (formerly Macmillan) Bible Atlas. See The Sacred Bridge: Carta's Atlas of the Biblical World and Carta's New Century Handbook and Atlas of the Bible.
So...what are the chances of actually getting these in Logos?
[Y][Y][:D]
Please, please!!!!!
For those of you who haven't yet found out, there is now a Carta suggestion at Logos' new Uservoice site for prepubs: Add books from Carta. Please go add your vote[s ]. And then add the remainder of your votes to other suggestions -- preferably mine.[:D]
(There is also a new Uservoice site for CP's, with another ten new votes for you to spend: http://communitypricing.uservoice.com/forums/183260-general/filters/top.)
Thanks for encouraging this. Unfortunately I can't do any more as I've already registered 3 votes. I encourage others to do the same. In my limited opinion the Carta Atlas is the best I've ever used.
I've given my 3 votes!
Bump
Can't get enough of them maps... [:D]
Amazing. Since I made that post above, the Carta suggestion has gone from 6 or 10 votes to 35, and is now leading the race.
That is great news and I've been doing all I can to promote this too! I hope this bears fruit and Logos responds in the near future.
Don't expect the 'leading' part to last, though. I haven't had time to promote the Jewish, Patristic, and Catholic suggestions on their respective old Suggestions threads yet, just the Carta, Orthodox and Liturgy ones. I think I may do the Jewish ones tomorrow.
We only have a very limited number of votes! Let's get Carta going first!
How many votes does it take to get it going?
Each Logos user gets a maximum of 3 votes. There is no magic number and there is no guarantee that we can ever see Carta as part of Logos. What it does do it help Logos know the desire of its users and this is their way of assessing it.
I would really like to get the collection of Carta into logos!!
Yes!
Did you cast your votes for it yet? See above if you have not.
I wish I could put in 10 votes! Carta is "the best" maps source around!
