the trained user. For this book, although the authors indicate
in the preface that the book can be used without any prior
GIS knowledge, I believe it would be better used as a supple-
ment for somebody with at least some GIS experience. There
are many instances in the book, especially in the introductory
chapters, where terminology is used that presumes the reader
is familiar with the jargon used in GIS and the other geospa-
tial technologies. Although some of the terminologies are ex-
plained and discussed in subsequent chapters, some are not.
This, along with the esoteric nature of some of the material in
the book, would in my estimation be a turn-off for a student
who has not taken a practical, hands-on GIS course (like the
chapter on converting a shapefile layer to a geodatabase or the
chapter on weighted suitability model).
