Book Description
Introduction to Geographic Information Systems 9th edition (PDF) eBook is designed to provide college students in a first or second Geographic Information Systems (GIS) course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use of GIS. Introduction to GIS 9e PDF strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts andhands-on applications. The main portion of the chapter presents GIS terms and concepts and helps college students learn how each one fits into a complete GIS system. At the end of each chapter an application section with two to seven tasks presents students with actual GIS exercises and the necessary data to solve the problem.
