Part of the impetus for us to get this book back into print (and keep it there!) was so educators could have a broad, yet deep, OSGIS resource at their disposal for courses. My other goal is to be able to support consultants with material they can use in training their clients.<div>

<h3>Description</h3><p>Desktop <i>Geographic Information System</i> (GIS) software gives
you the ability to make maps and analyze geographic information. This
book provides a foundational level of knowledge for understanding GIS
and the open source desktop mapping applications that are available for
use, for free, today. Learn about vector and raster data, how to
convert data, interacting with spatial databases, creating new map data,
geoprocessing, scripting, and more. Special sections include focused
learning on the <a title="Quantum GIS" href="http://www.qgis.org" target="_blank">Quantum GIS</a> and <a title="GRASS GIS" href="http://grass.osgeo.org/" target="_blank">GRASS GIS</a>
software platforms but other packages are also introduced. The
Geospatial Desktop is written by the creator of Quantum GIS, so you can
rest assured that you will be led by one of the most knowledgeable
authors on the subject.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><br></div><div><div>-----</div><div>Tyler Mitchell, Publisher</div><div>Locate Press, <a href="mailto:info@locatepress.com" target="_blank">info@locatepress.com</a></div>
