Principles of Geographical Information Systems for Land Resources Assessment

by Peter A. Burrough

Geographical information systems are increasingly in demand by environmental resource and planning agencies, but the technical principles have been scattered throughout a wide range of disciplines, including cartography, spatial statistics, and computer science. The first study to gather
together and explain these principles, this volume describes the major components of geographical information systems, including raster and vector data structures, modules for data input, digital terrain models, and methods of spatial analysis, classification, and interpolation. In addition, the
book provides a much-needed critical review of the sources of error in geographical information processing.

I was introduced to this series by my brother when I saw Book 2 lying in his suitcase. The Painted Man which is the first in the Demon Cycle trilogy(?) was a page turner. The book follows the lives and stories of the three lead protagonists and ends with how their paths intersect. I've already started reading Book 2 which means it's that good! Can't wait to see how this story ends!
