This is an extremely comprehensive text book that I'm glad I bought, so will have to reference throughout my career and even beyond. Even though technology will change, the concepts that are taught and explained in the text should be applicable in any environment of Geospatial Information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, well written and well illustrated.

I'm an OAP who takes an active interest in geographical studies, the sciences, and computing.

Following on from the excellent second edition (which I bought second hand some time ago) this is an informative, well written, and well illustrated volume in the classic style of the American university text book. This new edition includes much from the second edition but brings the book further into the modern world with much more reference to web based resources.

My only complaints are:
Some of the many illustrations are a bit dark and are not perfectly sharp.
The physical (paperback) book is quite floppy due to the very thin paper used
Care should be taken in handling the pages, they really are thin.

The volume size conforms to the North American Letter (or Quarto) format.

Highly Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great topical intro and review
Reviewed in the United States on 1 August 2013

I have seen some decent books on GIS. I have also seen some terrible ones. This one is really well organized and the topics are current as of 2013. It is a great introduction into the history of GIS and the types of data, types of analyses, mapping process, coordinate systems, etc. It is also a handy reference and review for those who have already been indoctrinated in the basics of Geographic Information Systems and Science. Really this book does a good job of describing both the systems aspect and the science aspect. No matter what particular application you need GIS for, this is a good place to start learning what you're getting into with GIS.
