GIS - Research Methods

Zusatztext Using straightforward language that is easily accessible for all audiences, this book covers the foundational concepts and rigor necessary to understand the importance that GIS has in research. Readers will appreciate the mostly software-agnostic approach and the tips and tricks to address common snags one might stumble across. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering getting started with GIS or works with GIS professionals and wants to have a better, high-level understanding of the technology.
