Geographic Information Systems Demystified

GIS isn't your usual software product-based system: it's used on engineering, mapping and other projects to blend geographic data with business analytic tools, and it uses demographics to promote both business decisions and geographic information management alike. Most GIS titles focus on the geography end, so it's refreshing to see an analysis which focuses equally on business applications of GIS results and strategies, coming with the authority of a member of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, American Geophysical Union, and the New York City Chapter of Geographic Information Systems and Mapping Operations.
