From the Publisher

Review excerpt
From "AEC Automation Newsletter," June 1997:

...[The author has done] a great job of explaining GIS without
requiring readers to have a technical background. [The book]...explains the
core basics of the technology but spends most of its time covering other
major factors that really make or break a GIS implementation. This
book is for executives, managers, and users that want the big
picture with relevant details and guidelines.

The second part provides some very helpful guidance in
selecting and implementing a GIS. The step-by-step implementation process
diagram is worth the price of the book alone for those getting started.

But it's better than rotten tomatoes!
Reading comments about your book posted on the Internet is like being in a stage play and watching the audience hold up score cards. Nonetheless, I welcome your feedback.
