geographic information systems (GIS). An introduction to the concepts,
conventions, and capabilities of map algebra as a general language, this
book describes the analytical use of raster-based GIS. By focusing on
the fundamentals of cartographic modeling techniques, C. Dana Tomlin
illustrates concepts that can be applied to any GIS. This publication of
GIS and Cartographic Modeling contains updated graphics and a new
