Gener al GIS Books
It should not be forgoten that there is also a large literature on GIS gen-
erally that, while not directly aimed at the historical community, is very
relevant to it. Good introductions include N. R. Chrisman, Exploring
Geographical Information Systems, 2nd ed. (New York: John Wiley, 2002);
M. N. DeMers, Fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (New
York: John Wiley, 2000); F. Harvey, A Primer of GIS: Fundamental Geo-
graphic and Cartographic Concepts (New York: Guildford, 2008); D. I.
Heywood, S. Cornelius, and S. Carver, An Introduction to Geographical
Information Systems, 4th ed. (Harlow, UK: Prentice Hall, 2012); D. J.
Martin, Geographical Information Systems and Their Socio-economic Ap-
plications (New York: Routledge, 1996); and R. Nash Parker and E. K.
Asencio, GIS and Spatial Analysis for the Social Sciences: Coding, Mapping,
and Modelling (New York: Routledge, 2008). For a fuller description of
GIS as an academic field, see the essays in the two volumes of P. A. Long-
ley, M. F. Goodchild, D. J. Maguire, and D. W. R hind, eds., Geographical
Information Systems: Principles, Techniques, Management and Applications,
2nd ed. (New York: John Wiley, 2005), while for more of an overview on
the uses of GIS, see the same four authors' topic Geographical Information
Systems and Science, 3rd ed. (New York: John Wiley, 2010). N. Schuur-
man, GIS: A Short Introduction (Malden, Mass.: Blackwell, 2004) provides
a more critical look at the epistemology of GIS. J. Pickles, ed., Ground
