The fundamental ideas of geographic information systems are integrated with real-world issues and applications in Essentials of Geographic Information Systems. This book is intended to be approachable, practical, and brief because it is cognizant that many potential GIS users are nonspecialists or may just require a few maps.
The use of GIS to pose questions, inform decisions, and direct policy is also demonstrated in the book Essentials of Geographic Information Systems. This book offers a gentle but thorough introduction to the usage and application of digital maps, mapping, and GIS. Topics covered in the book range from the melting of the polar ice caps to privacy concerns related to mapping.
