Description:

"This text is a very good introductory guide for surveyors. It covers all technical aspects of a GIS by municipalities."--Indrajith Wijayratne, Michigan Tech University

"Solid work!"--John Morris, University of Texas at San Antonio

"An excellent book and the best I have found as a text for a college course. The author has obviously had many years experience in his field."--P. Boniface, California State Polytech University

"An excellent text for urban GIS. I especially like the Milwaukee examples and list of applications elsewhere. I use the exercises a great deal."--William Craig, University of Minnesota

"Good basic introduction to urban GIS plan to use in marketing and sales forecasting for retail locations."--James H. Underwood, University of Southwestern Louisiana

"Huxhold will become a recommended text for students who are focusing on urban applications."--Dueker/URISA Journal

"Excellent examples and case studies!"--Donna Buckey, University of Kansas

"A good introduction to basic concepts and definitions of GIS....Provides a good set of exercises to test understanding of the concepts introduced."--Public Administration Review

"Testimony to the successful implementation of GIS documented for a single city, the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin....Superb....Although limited to one city, its exercises and description of this system demonstrates real applications and make a case for long term commitment to GIS for the improvement of local governments and public access to information of the cities we all share as principal living spaces."--International Journal of Geographical Information Systems

"If a student of city planning, geography, or urban administration reads only one book related to urban geographic information systems, I would heartily recommend this one. It also deserves to be read by others interested in doing urban GIS."--Urisa Journal.
