Few textbooks offer a comprehensive overview of geographic
information systems (GIS) today. The literature common in academic
circles is highly technical and pays little attention to the role
GIS plays, and has played, as a tool in the planning and shaping of
society and the world around us. The authors of this book feel
strongly about the potential inherent in the concepts and
methodologies that make up a geographic information system.
Similarly, the authors are aware of the limitations of the
uniformly technical and structural approach that dominates
discussions about GIS in many professional circles. The authors'
ambition with this book is to guide the reader on an educational,
easy-to-understand journey that introduces the concepts and
methodologies that lie behind todays geographic information
systems. Their goal is thus to make GIS both more familiar and
relevant to a far broader section of the professional circles who
plan, organise and shape our surroundings.
