Customer Reviews & Comments
I'm a GIS manager with 23 years of real-world experience, I am the program director for the GIS degree program at Tarrant County College where I also teach advanced GIS classes ... This book was way over my head. It's first 5 pages are a matrix of the authors and their academic qualifications - there are 36 of them. That should have been a warning of the complexity of the speach. Each chapter is written by a different author, and it's almost as if they try to speak in the most complex terms, and to be more complex than the last chapter. Written by pure acedemics FOR pure academics. Make no mistake, the subject matter is not that complex - just the language. I would reccomend the "ESRI Guide to Spatial Analysis Volume 2" for a better primer on spatial analysis and how to make it work for you.
