This text puts the high-tech field of geographic information systems
within reach for students like you. It provides a basic, non-technical,
and friendly introduction in one convenient source. It examines the
basic GIS material that is traditionally found throughout the Geography
curriculum--e.g., in Cartography, GIS spatial analysis, and quantitative
methods. Clarke's "learn-by-seeing" approach gives you clear, simple
explanations, and an abundance of illustrations and photos.
