It is written for use in an introductory GIS class and as a reference for the GIS practitioner. This fifth edition balances theoretical and applied material, so that students may apply knowledge of GIS in the solution of real-world problems. Improvements over the previous editions are included in each chapter.

Review: Four Stars - Very instructive. Review: Excellent resource about the subject of GIS - I got this book to help study for the GISP. It is an excellent resource for all things GIS and takes you through pretty much everything related to the subject. Lots of great examples and illustrations. I keep it at work now as a reference.

The GIS Introduction Book
Using this textbook for my Masters program. Explanations on difficult content are clear and the overall style of writing keeps you engaged but not too flashy or dramatic. Covers a lot of information regarding maps in general and GIS.
