This landmark text captures and redefines the richness and diversity of GIS, in an accessible form. It presents a clearly-defined path to a world of learning about GIS, using the Internet and closely-couples reference sources. It is richly produced and illustrated unlike any other in the field, with over 300 full colour illustrations.      Unique in several ways, it presents comprehensive treatments of:        Geographic Information Science - the scientific context to GIS, technical content and geographic implications    The real value of GIS - illustrated using real world applications. Treatments emphasize operational, tactical and strategic issues    The impact of Internet GIS on interdisciplinary science and society    The pivotal role of GIS as a business driver in the information age - including the role of GIS as a business asset and the operational dynamics of its use in practice       Learning resources include:            Links to ESRI's Virtual Campus which includes modules specially written to accompany the book (http://campus.esri.com)    Instructor's Manual to assist in the planning and use of this text in a variety of academic environments (http://www.wiley.co.uk/gis)    Free on-line access to relevant chapters of the first edition of the two-volume 'Big Book 1' (http://www.wiley.co.uk/gis)    Questions for further study at the end of each chapter (http://www.wiley.co.uk/gis)    Powerpoint slides to assist teaching

The first edition of Geographic Information Systems and Science has taken the GIS textbook market by storm, selling over 22,000 copies since publication. It is the most current, authoritative and comprehensive treatment of the field, that goes from fundamental principles to the big picture. 
GISS 2e builds on the success of the first edition: <ul>
<li>Completely revised with a new five part structure: Foundations; Principles; Techniques; Analysis; Management and Policy</li> <li>All new personality boxes of current GIS practitioners</li> <li>New chapters on Distributed GIS, Map Production, Geovisualization, Modeling, and Managing GIS</li> <li>Specific coverage of current hot topics: <ul>
<li>GIS and the New World Order</li> <li>Security, health and well-Being</li> <li>Digital differentiation in GIS consumption</li> <li>The core organizing role of GIS in geography</li> <li>The greening of GIS</li> <li>Grand challenges of GIS science</li> <li>Science and explanation</li> </ul>
</li> </ul>
A new suite of instructor resources including a companion website with an on-line lab resource and personal student sullabus and a cehensive Instructor’s Manual that maps the textbook to various disciplines and levels of courses.

Effective use of today’s powerful GIS technology requires an understanding of the science of problem-solving that underpins it. Since the first edition published over a decade ago, this book has led the way, with its focus on the scientific principles that support GIS usage. It has also provided thorough, upto- date coverage of GIS procedures, techniques and public policy applications. This unique combination of science, technology and practical problem solving has made this book a best-seller across a broad spectrum of disciplines. This fully updated 4th edition continues to deliver on these strengths.

Advanced Spatial Analysis: The CASA Book of GIS

Esri Press

This Guide addresses the full spectrum of analytical techniques that are provided within modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related geospatial software products. It is broad in its treatment of concepts and methods and representative in terms of the software that people actually use. Topics covered include: . the principal concepts of geospatial analysis, their origins and methodological context . core components of geospatial analysis, including distance and directional analysis, geometrical processing, map algebra, and grid models . basic methods of exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and spatial statistics, including spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression . surface analysis, including surface form analysis, gridding and interpolation methods . network and locational analysis, including shortest path calculation, travelling salesman problems, facility location and arc routing. The Guide has been designed for everyone involved in geospatial analysis, from undergraduate and postgraduate to professional analyst, software engineer and GIS practitioner. It builds upon the spatial analysis topics included in the US National Research Council 'Beyond Mapping' agenda, the UK 'Spatial Literacy in Teaching' programme, the NCGIA Core Curriculum and the UCGIS Body of Knowledge. As such it provides a valuable reference guide and accompaniment to courses built around these programmes.

Troubador Pub

his second edition of the widely acclaimed Geospatial Analysis guide has been updated and extended to include a major new chapter on Geocomputational Methods. It addresses the full spectrum of analytical techniques that are provided within modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related geospatial software products. It is broad in its treatment of concepts and methods and representative in terms of the software that people actually use. Topics covered include: the principal concepts of geospatial analysis, their origins and methodological context; core components of geospatial analysis, including distance and directional analysis, geometrical processing, map algebra, and grid models; basic methods of exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and spatial statistics, including spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression; surface analysis, including surface form analysis, gridding and interpolation methods; network and locational analysis, including shortest path calculation, travelling salesman problems, facility location and arc routing; Geocomputational methods, including Cellular automata, Agent Based Modelling, Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms. The Guide has been designed for everyone involved in geospatial analysis, from undergraduate and postgraduate to professional analyst, software engineer and GIS practitioner. It builds upon the spatial analysis topics included in the US National Academies 'Beyond Mapping' and 'Learning to think spatially' agendas, the UK 'Spatial Literacy in Teaching' programme, the NCGIA Core Curriculum and the AAAG/UCGIS Body of Knowledge. As such it provides a valuable reference guide and accompaniment to courses built around these programmes.
