Book by Bernhardsen Tor

Présentation de l'éditeur:

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.
