This pragmatic book introduces key concepts and skills to prepare students to understand and use
geographic information systems (GIS).
The text thoroughly explains what geographic information is, how it is represented and analyzed,
and what it communicates about human and environmental activities and events that
take place on our planet. Basic principles of map making and map reading are integrated with
discussions of relevant information technologies and applications. Written in an accessible style,
the text is organized into four parts that can be used in any sequence in entry-level and more
specialized GIS courses. User-friendly features include practical examples and exercises, engaging
vignettes, and helpful Internet resources.
