"Containing contributions from 53 leading experts and professors in the areas of GIS, GPS, and remote sensing, this second edition reflects the latest advances in the technology, applications, and usage of the geospatial sciences." "Significantly updated and expanded, this reader-friendly manual introduces the fundamentals in mathematics and physics needed to perform area-wide mapping, inventory, data conversion, and analysis. The text maintains a focus on the practical aspects of these technologies and remains the only resource to cover the areas of GIS, GPS, and remote sensing in such breadth and clarity. An expanded index, new and revised figures, a color insert, and an easier to read format are among the many improvements to this edition."--BOOK JACKET.
