DESCRIPTION:
Very clearly explained concepts, still relevant to GIS This book is the 2nd edition, published in 2001. However, I find the concepts very clearly explained and still very relevant to anyone learning GIS today (2012) as I am. Loads of diagrams make the written explanations crystal clear; it is very well organised, easy to read, leaves out all but essential jargon (and explains any necessary jargon). It is a compulsory key text set for part. A basic text on geographic information systems This book uses graphics to introduce the basic concepts ofgeographic information systems (GIS). It does not providedetailed explanations but is very good at getting across the important concepts. A useful book for beginners.. Cheaper than college bookstore Cynthia Boyle Worked well for my daughter while in school.
