Recognizing that many potential GIS users are nonspecialists or may only need a few maps, this book is designed to be accessible, pragmatic, and concise. Essentials of Geographic Information Systems also illustrates how GIS is used to ask questions, inform choices, and guide policy. From the melting of the polar ice caps to privacy issues associated with mapping, this book provides a gentle, yet substantive, introduction to the use and application of digital maps, mapping, and GIS."--Open Textbook Library website. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 588 This bibliographic record is available under the Creative Commons CC0 "No Rights Reserved" license. 588 0 Online version, 2012; title from PDF (viewed on July 8, 2016). 590 Open Educational Resources (OER).
