Kurzbeschreibung
An invaluable resource for anyone who uses or encounters GIS terminology in the classroom, on the job, or in the field, this dictionary contains more than 1,600 terms covering the entire lexicon of geographic information systems. Terms have been selected from GIS operations such as analysis, data management, and geocomputation; from rapidly evolving uses of GIS for modeling, GIScience, and Web-based GIS; and the GIS foundation fields of cartography, spatial statistics, computer science, surveying, geodesy, and remote sensing. Hundreds of subject-matter experts and GIS educators have reviewed the definitions, ensuring the authoritative coverage that is a necessity for managers, programmers, users, and students discovering the interdisciplinary nature of GIS.
Synopsis

The bomb: Throw your stale convoluted GIS textbooks under the bus
15. April 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Have you rummaged through a GIS textbook for half an hour looking for a simple definition, never to find it? Have you wondered why a $100 "introductory" textbook has loads of extraneous information but not a simple glossary, or how it can be written so obtusely and still get past an editing staff? Well, this is the Allen Iverson of GIS books, "The Answer." It gives you GIS concepts clearly and succinctly, with great explanatory illustrations for the "visual learners" out there, which are many in geography I would think. This has been a "go to" book for me in GIS but also in Remote Sensing; there's no question whether to get it, only how much the bookstore will pay you to buy back that unused textbook that you blew $100 on.

Essential to understanding the terminology of both computer and geography worlds.
11. Dezember 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Books about GIS are usually quite technical, surveying the applications and computer potentials of geographic information systems, so it's refreshing to note that A TO Z GIS: AN ILLUSTRATED DICTIONARY OF GEOGEPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS is something different: a simple set of geography and cartography definitions designed to defines values, coordinates, reference systems, representations, and GIS data processing methods and routines. Students of GIS will find this essential to understanding the terminology of both computer and geography worlds.

Very good explanations but could be a little more complete
18. August 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I've been studying GIS for a few months now on my own, and have often been stuck as to the meaning of a word.
For me this is a very good little book, but it did not even mention some of the projections that are popular in
my country, like the Lambert projections. I am not going to give this book a low mark just for that, because I did pick up
a lot of useful information in a very efficient way.
If you want to go about it the long way get the Geographic Information Systems and Science but you might fall asleep in the process (it's a good book though!!).
The explanations of general computer science concepts like object oriented programming are very introductory, and I would go to the Wikipedia for more detail after if I didnt know the meanings.
So I'll probably give it 5 stars when a second edition comes out.
Still, for the money it's a definite winner, and it's very enjoyable read.
