Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer-based tools for the entry, maintenance, and analysis of spatial data.

This book provides an introduction to the theory and application of GIS. It is written for use in an introductory GIS class and as a reference for the GIS practitioner. This fifth edition balances theoretical and applied material, so that students may apply knowledge of GIS in the solution of real-world problems. Improvements over the previous editions are included in each chapter.

Review: Excellent resource about the subject of GIS - I got this book to help study for the GISP. It is an excellent resource for all things GIS and takes you through pretty much everything related to the subject. Lots of great examples and illustrations. I keep it at work now as a reference.
Review: The GIS Introduction Book - Using this textbook for my Masters program. Explanations on difficult content are clear and the overall style of writing keeps you engaged but not too flashy or dramatic. Covers a lot of information regarding maps in general and GIS.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beginner GIS book
*by A***R on April 30, 2017*

I've only read the first chapter but this book was a lot more informative than the book I read and used in my beginner GIS class in college. I hope to get more opportunities to read it this summer so that I'm properly prepared for my next GIS class.
