Product Description
The ultimate comprehensive introduction to GIS-now in an updated, expanded new edition.
"This book is well designed, solidly constructed, and finely crafted; those who depend on it as they set out to explore our spatial world will be well served. . . . If we are to solve many of the problems facing us-in the cities, in the wild areas of the earth, in the atmosphere and the oceans, problems of the earth as a whole-we shall need the help of skilled users of GIS technology. If readers can master what is in this volume, they will be well started on this enterprise." -From the Foreword by Jack Dangermond,President of ESRI.
From reviews of the previous edition:
* "Comprehensive and easy to read. . . . This book tackles all the key issues that should be found in any introductory GIS course attempting to deliver an understanding of the technical concepts and the underlying information issues."-GIS Europe/GIS World.
* "Clear and well presented. . . . of interest to both technical and nontechnical readers." -Mapping Awareness & GIS in Europe.
* "A gentle but comprehensive look at the whole field [with] ample use of diagrams and an avoidance of irritating jargon."-The Photogrammetric Record.
* "An excellent primer . . . expertly translated. . . . The illustrations are numerous, appropriate, and clear." -Geography
