It is completely revised with a new five part structure: foundations; principles; techniques; analysis; and, management and policy.It features: all new personality boxes of current GIS practitioners; and, new chapters on Distributed GIS, Map Production, Geovisualization, Modeling, and Managing GIS. It also features specific coverage of current hot topics: GIS and the New World Order; security, health and well-Being; digital differentiation in GIS consumption; the core organizing role of GIS in geography; the greening of GIS; grand challenges of GIS science; and, science and explanation. It contains a new suite of instructor resources including a companion website with an on-line lab resource and personal student syllabus and a cohesive Instructor's Manual that maps the textbook to various disciplines and levels of courses.
