Part I
GIS: Geography on Steroids
In this part . . .
No, I’m not advocating the use of steroids, but I am advocating GIS. In this part, I provide an introduction to all the geography and map-related capabilities that underlie the enormous power of GIS. You find out how GIS has merged the speed and strength of a computer with a geographer’s robust toolkit. And even more impressive, you see how this merger has produced one of the most transforming technologies of the 21st century.
