Description
Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, 8th edition is designed to provide students in a first or second GIS course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use of GIS. Introduction to GIS strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts and hands-on applications. The main portion of the chapter presents GIS terms and concepts and helps students learn how each one fits into a complete GIS system. At the end of each chapter, an application section with 2-7 tasks presents students with actual GIS exercises and the necessary data to solve the problem.
Key Features
The text provides data sets and instructions for the applications section in each chapter, as well as challenge tasks, written questions, and review questions for each chapter. Data sets can be found on the student companion site.
Key terms are boldfaced where they first appear in the chapter and then summarized and defined with a glossary at the end of the chapter.
The author created all the figures and tables ensuring precise correlation between the chapter material and their accompanying visuals.
The author has combined georelational and object-based vector data models into one chapter. A couple of years ago the majority of GIS users were still using georelational vector data such as shapefiles. But now many have turned to object-based vector data such as the geodatabase. Therefore it makes sense to combine these two data models into a chapter and simply call the chapter vector data model.
The text-specific website offers additional teaching and learning tools for students and instructors. Students will find data sets for ArcGIS applications in the text and that correspond to ArcGIS 10. Additionally, students will find exercise data sets and chapter web links to existing GIS data and relevant information. Instructors will appreciate a password-protected Instructor's Manual, PowerPoint image and lecture slides, a listing of exercise data sets, and more!
New to this edition
Chapters 1, 4, 5, 7, and 17 have been completely overhauled.
New lab exercises have been introduced on spatial join, areal interpolation, line-of-sight operations, and land cover image.
Six new tables, nine new boxes, and five new figures have been added.
Web sites and references have been updated.

描述
《地理資訊系統導論》第八版旨在為第一或第二門GIS課程的學生提供堅實的GIS概念和使用GIS的基礎。《地理資訊系統導論》在GIS概念和實作應用之間取得了良好的平衡。本章的主要部分介紹了GIS術語和概念，幫助學生了解每個概念如何融入完整的GIS系統。在每章的結尾，應用部分包含2-7個任務，為學生提供實際的GIS練習和解決問題所需的數據。
主要特點
本書為每章的應用部分提供數據集和指導說明，以及挑戰任務、書面問題和每章的複習問題。數據集可以在學生伴隨網站上找到。
關鍵術語在首次出現在章節中時以粗體顯示，並在章節結尾進行總結和定義，附有詞彙表。
作者創建了所有的圖形和表格，確保章節內容與其附帶的視覺資料之間的精確對應。
作者將地理關聯和基於物件的向量數據模型合併到一章中。幾年前，大多數GIS用戶仍在使用地理關聯向量數據，如shapefile。但現在許多人已轉向基於物件的向量數據，如地理資料庫。因此，將這兩種數據模型合併為一章並簡單稱之為向量數據模型是合理的。
本書專屬網站為學生和教師提供額外的教學和學習工具。學生將在文本中找到與ArcGIS 10相對應的ArcGIS應用數據集。此外，學生還將找到練習數據集和章節網頁鏈接，指向現有的GIS數據和相關信息。教師將會欣賞受密碼保護的教師手冊、PowerPoint圖片和講義幻燈片、練習數據集列表等更多資源！
本版新內容
第1、4、5、7和17章已完全重寫。
新增了有關空間連接、面積插值、視線操作和土地覆蓋影像的實驗練習。
新增了六個表格、九個框和五個圖形。
網站和參考資料已更新。
