a| New and updated 6th Edition of the best selling GIS Fundamentals textbook by Paul Bolstad! Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer-based tools for the entry, maintenance, and analysis of spatial data.

It is written for use in a first-year GIS class and as a reference for the GIS practitioner. This sixth edition balances theoretical and practical material, so that students may apply knowledge of GIS in the solution of real-world problems.
