"Albrecht's slim volume is an important contribution to users and teachers of geographic information systems. It is a distillation of the core functions available in contemporary workstation GIS systems, functions likely to become common on Web mapping systems like Google Earth and MS Virtual Earth. Well written and up-to-date, this book is an excellent complement to the voluminous documentation provided by software and solutions vendors."

"Well written and up-to-date, this book is an excellent complement to the voluminous documentation provided by software and solutions vendors. A must-have for libraries, practitioners, and researchers using GIS."
This book provides a good overview on GIS techniques. Students appreciate the well explained concepts. It's a supplementaly literature that will help students in Spring 2011 to enrich their case studies by considering GIS techniques within their research.
This is too sketchy to be used in class. This cannot ever be a text book.
