關於這本電子書
Geographic information science (GISc) and systems (GIS) have grown rapidly in recent decades, increasingly on a separate track from geographic thought. As geography's "big ideas"--such as space, place, boundaries, scale, process, and relationality--have evolved, what does this mean for their computational representation? This book considers how key concepts have developed in geography and are represented (or not) in GISc, with a view to bridging gaps between the two. David O'Sullivan shows how revisiting the theoretical underpinnings of geography offers insights on enduring GIS challenges--including map projections, the modifiable areal unit problem, scale and map generalization, and the nature of space and place--while also enriching geographic thought. The book uses examples from across geography's subdisciplines to promote understanding. Chapters are self-contained essays that can easily form the basis of classroom discussions. The companion website provides the figures, code to produce versions of selected figures, updated web links, and other resources.

David O'Sullivan, PhD, is Professor of Geography and Geospatial Science at Te Herenga Waka--Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He has previously held positions at Penn State, the University of Auckland, and the University of California, Berkeley. He has published extensively on novel approaches to the simulation of change in urban and ecological systems and the implications of different representations in giscience in relation to wider currents in geographical thought. He is an associate editor of the International Journal of Geographical Information Science and serves on the editorial boards of the Annals of the American Association of Geographers and Transactions in GIS.
