GIS and Cartographic Modeling
GIS and Cartographic Modeling is a foundational work in the field of geographic information systems (GIS). An introduction to the concepts, conventions, and capabilities of map algebra as a general language, this book describes the analytical use of raster-based GIS. By focusing on the fundamentals of cartographic modeling techniques, C. Dana Tomlin illustrates concepts that can be applied to any GIS. This publication of GIS and Cartographic Modeling contains updated graphics and a new preface.

This is a high quality update of a classic book on spatial analysis I have been working in GIS for more than 17 years. I caught the bug in graduate school, where a brief few weeks in a plenary studio with Dana Tomlin convinced me that this was some interesting stuff about which I wanted to learn a lot more. Learning GIS from Dana Tomlin was quite a privilege. He has a unique teaching style that uses a combination of rich metaphor and creative descriptions of physical scenarios in order to describe complex concepts. It was a formative experience for me, and caused a significant shift in my career toward geospatial analysis.Dana built his academic reputation around the development of Map Algebra, a conceptual framework for processing geographic data that he originally articulated in his doctoral thesis. This work, which he referred to as “Cartographic Modeling” (Map Algebra has since become a more popular moniker) was outlined in a book released in 1990.The book itself was important, but the influence of Dana’s work was enhanced…
