Abstract
Managing Geographic Information Systems explores theoretical compo - nents of a Geographic Information Sys - tem (GIS) and how to manage them. The authors bel ieve that "previously pub - lished GIS books are instructional texts filled with unrelated case studies with lit - tle theoretical foundation ." They suggest that if the theory behind a GIS is known, it can be effectively applied. Their sec - ondary focus is to enable complete use of the full range of GIS tasks by average users by supplying some basic informa - tion about geographical analysis.
