Geographical information systems are increasingly in demand by environmental resource and planning agencies, but the technical principles have been scattered throughout a wide range of disciplines, including cartography, spatial statistics, and computer science. The first study to gather together and explain these principles, this volume describes the major components of geographical information systems, including raster and vector data structures, modules for data input, digital terrain models, and methods of spatial analysis, classification, and interpolation. In addition, the book provides a much-needed critical review of the sources of error in geographical information processing.

'ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING' explores the importance of maps as aids to navigation, understanding, and cultural representation. Traditionally written by history's victors, maps are gaining new currency in our information-saturated age as a means of making arguments and processes visible. Mapping technologies today are as diverse as the agendas driving them: the human body is mapped with 3-D software, buildings are mapped with lasers, and cities are mapped by satellite. 'ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING' proposes& by visual example and written analysis& that mapmaking is a fundamental design process, one that shapes the physical and conceptual dimensions of contemporary multicultural society. 'ELSE/WHERE: MAPPING' is the second installment in an international visual/verbal collaboration focusing on the design implications of new technologies. It follows the award-winning book 'IF/THEN: PLAY', published in 1999, and is designed by Amsterdam studio Mevis + van Deursen. Janet Abrams is director of the University of Minnesota Design Institute. She edited 'IF/THEN' while working at the Netherlands Design Institute, Amsterdam. Peter Hall is senior editor at the University of Minnesota Design Institute and a contributing writer to Metropolis magazine. Distributed for the University of Minnesota Design Institute
