Geospatial technologies in general – and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in particular – are becoming increasingly important in our society. GIS technology is used to identify the optimal routes for emergency vehicles, to determine the best locations for various businesses, schools, and facilities, to monitor the growth and expansion of urban areas as a way to manage natural resources, and much more.

Introductory of Geographic Information Systems by John Jensen and Ryan Jensen is an ideal introduction for those who know very little about geographic information systems and spatial analysis. Relatively complex GIS principles are introduced in basic terms, often using graphics to communicate principles rather than complex mathematical equations. Content is not geared toward any single commercial GIS software program, and the book’s timely, practical examples and extensive visual format appeal to today’s students. This text can be used at the undergraduate or graduate level in one or two semester courses in Introductory and Intermediate GIS, yet can also be useful for professionals looking to increase their knowledge in this subject area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great foundational book
Reviewed in Canada on 15 August 2020

This is the book you want when you want all the information in one place. Where your professor fumbled in lecture or maybe it just went over your head. This book is great for grasping it all. I've had it for almost 3 years and still go back to double check this because it's more certain that googling for the answer. Heads up, the book is pretty "thin." Don't be alarmed. It's great value and there's no frilly place holder chapters. Invest if you're a geospatial person, or if you're jumping into Remote Sensing with no GIS background.

Get ready to spend some time reading and re-reading, this is a heavy undertaking. Must be read from the beginning to understand the concepts that are discussed later in the book. I tried to read Chapter 9; Statistic and Spatial Data Measurements, and I was in over my head. LOL

Good background information on the subject. A little dense for a novice to understand. The graphics in the book are very nice.
