"[Travis] has convinced me that he is one of them, a rare bird--a griffin; a bringer of gold--bearing his humanities GIS proposition as a gift from the GISciences into the humanities disciplines." - David J. Nemeth (2018) Abstract Machine: Humanities GIS, The AAG Review of Books , 6:1, 33-36, DOI: 10.1080/2325548X.2018.1402281, "Travis writes from the perspective of a scholar immersed in the intersections of the science of cartography, the history of geography, and the language and meaning of literature. And he proves capable of communicating the breadth of opportunities that GIS and visualization techniques can bring to the humanities." - Ann M. Hanlon (2016), Cartographic Perspectives (85)
