Following in the tradition of its popular predecessor, the Manual
of Geospatial Science and Technology, Second Edition continues to
be the authoritative volume that covers all aspects of the field,
both basic and applied, and includes a focus on initiating,
planning, and managing GIS projects. This comprehensive resource,
which contains contributions from 53 leading experts and professors
in the areas of GIS, GPS, and remote sensing, reflects the very
latest advances in the technology, applications, and usage of the
geospatial sciences in many key disciplines, from natural resource
analysis to transportation planning. Significantly updated and
expanded, this reader-friendly manual introduces the fundamentals
in mathematics and physics needed to perform area-wide mapping,
inventory, data conversion, and analysis. The text maintains a
focus on the practical aspects of these technologies and remains
the only resource to cover the areas of GIS, GPS, and remote
sensing with such breadth and clarity. An expanded index, new and
revised figures, a color insert, and an easier to read format are
among the many improvements to this edition. New to the Second
