This "Handbook" is an essential reference and a guide to the
rapidly expanding field of Geographic Information Science. Designed
to suit those who want an in-depth treatment of the subject, it
comprises over thirty substantial essays, each written by a
recognized expert in a particular area.
The "Handbook" covers the full spectrum of research in the
field. Contributors explore the major trends influencing the
collection, organization, and dissemination of geographically
referenced data sets, and review the defining characteristics of
the database solutions used in GIS products. They consider the
opportunities for using GIS to conduct spatial analysis, and
examine the ways in which it has been used to advance cartographic
modeling and visualization. Finally, they portray GIS at work,
surveying its increasing number of applications.
The editors introduce the "Handbook" with an essential overview
of the origins, history, and state of the art of Geographic
Information Science, before providing brief summaries of the
chapters that follow. They conclude the book with two final
chapters setting out how Geographic Information Science is likely
to evolve in the future.
