Following in the tradition of its popular predecessor, the Manual of Geospatial Science and Technology, Second Edition continues to be the authoritative guide for setting up and managing GIS projects. Significantly updated and expanded to reflect advances in the technology, applications, and usage of the geospatial sciences, the text introduces the fundamentals in mathematics and physics needed to perform area-wide mapping, inventory, data conversion, and analysis. An expanded index, new and revised figures, a color insert, and an easier-to-read format are among the many improvements to this edition.
