Arcview Gis Developer's Guide
In this revised edition of the ArcView GIS/Avenue Developer's Guide (1999), a GIS consultant who once was a GIS manager at a federal government agency provides coverage of the object- oriented Avenue language used to customize the ArcView software package for diverse users of spatial data.
GIS: A Computing Perspective
Provides a full, up-to-date overview of the state-of-the-art in GIS, both Geographic Information Systems and the study of these systems-Geographic Information Science. Analyzing the subject from a computing perspective, the second edition explores conceptual and formal models needed to understand spatial information, and examines the representations and data structures needed to support adequate system performance. This volume also covers the special-purpose interfaces and architectures required to interact with and share spatial information, and explains the importance of uncertainty and time.The second edition contains substantial new information, and has been completely reformatted to improve accessibility.
Principles of Geographic Information Systems, 2nd Ed.
This book provides a comprehensive and concise introduction to the theory and practice of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). It explains the theory and technical details behind GIS and provides all the information necessary to understand why spatial information data and the information systems based on them are important in the modern world.
INSIDE ArcInfo Version 8
This self-help and reference book features over 500 pages of detailed examples, exercises and extensive illustrations. This introduces readers to the new graphical user interface and enables them to take full advantage of the new object-oriented code that distinguishes this release of ArcInfo from its predecessors. With its detailed discussion of important, new Version 8 features and functions - plus an introduction to AML, (the programming language of ArcInfo)
Introduction to GIS
This authoritative book offers an up-to-date introduction to the world of Geographical Information Systems. Fully revised an updated it is designed to be easy to use for students at all levels, from undergraduates to professionals retraining in GIS. The book focuses on the practical application of GIS, and considers how the technology works.
The GIS Book: How to Implement, Manage and Assess the Value of Geographic Information Systems
An updated and expanded resource for helping readers understand what a geographic information system is, what it can do, how it's different from other types of computer mapping systems, and how it applies to their profession: from engineering to land planning to forestry to marketing.
Using AutoCAD Map 3.0
This text is designed to provide a practical approach to introduce Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the use of AutoCAD Map. GIS is one of the fastest growing sectors of the computer software industry. Students will learn how to complete sophisticated applications and techniques, including Overlay Analysis, Topological Queries, Edge Matching, and attaching external databases such as ACCESS or dBase. Abundant illustrations, screen captures, and systematic procedures guide students through tutorials. A CD-ROM containing many files gets the student into complex, real-world GIS problems quickly. Major GIS topics are explained and exercises and tutorials are provided to reinforce understanding for GIS students.

Getting to Know ARC View GIS: the Geographic Information System

Geographical Information Systems and Computer Cartography
A concise text presenting the fundamental concepts in Geographical Information Systems (GIS), emphasising an understanding of techniques in management, analysis and graphic display of spatial information.
Divided into five parts - the first part reviews the development and application of GIS. Part Two introduces co-ordinate systems and map projections, describes methods for digitising map data and gives an overview of remote sensing. Part Three deals with data storage and database management, as well as specialised techniques for accessing spatial data. Spatial modelling and analytical techniques for decision making form the subject of Part Four, while the final part is concerned with graphical representation, emphasising issues of graphics technology, cartographic design and map generalisation.
