Spatial Reasoning for Effective GIS by Joseph K. Berry This incisive and witty book describes the development of geographic technology from maps that simply tell us "Where is what?" to systems that help us decide "So what?" It encourages new understandings of mapped data, data analysis procedures, and the uses of maps, fostering an appreciation of GIS as an effective analytical tool in many complex processes. The cover image was generated by Innovative GIS Solutions, Inc., Fort Collins, Colo., using its RAPiD Surfing software to enhance the terrain analysis capabilities available with the ARC/INFO GIS.?∗ The image was created using Digital Elevation Model data for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District of the Santa Ana mountains in southern California. The image represents a 3–D perspective looking north toward Lake Elsinore with partial renderings of analytical hillshading and shaded relief draped on a wire frame elevation model. ?∗RAPiD Surfing is a trademark of Innovative GIS Solutions, Inc., Fort Collins, Colo.

Synopsis:
Based on a series of articles within the "GIS World" magazine, this book is made up of sections accompanied by practical examples conveying the underlying GIS theory. Overall, it aims to encourage new understandings of mapped data, data analysis procedures and the uses of maps, which promote GIS as being an effective analytical tool in many complex processes. The text is divided into ten topics and outlines the potential and pitfalls of GIS, as well as the concepts and procedures of specific map analysis operations. Five of these topics are concerned with broad issues, whilst those remaining present more technical issues.
