Review
A word to characterise this book is simplicity. The fact that the book presents more than eighty GIS problems (and their solutions) is a definite plus for lecturers and self-learnersOverall, this book is a good addition to the library of GIS beginners, lecturers at undergraduate level and professionals working in natural sciences who are interested in learning very basic GIS tools for spatial analysis. It covers in a very simple way, with minimal text and profuse use of graphics and tables, the basic topics related to point, line, polygon and grid analysis
