Paperback. Condition: Good. Courses on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are now being taught in geography departments but many lecturers will not have been teaching this subject for long. This text uses a building block approach and assumes limited background in the subject; it includes basic cartographic and geographic principles throughout; and covers numerous applications for a wide range of uses and users. It should be of interest to both students and lecturers of geography. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR007348374
