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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David O'Sullivan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1462553931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781462553938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Guilford Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"David O'Sullivan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44756618903807,"sku":"9781462553938","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4fbc4dee-788f-4190-a496-e7fcb22dc71c.jpg?v=1706593435","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/computing-geographically-david-osullivan-9781462553938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
