Open Source GIS : A GRASS GIS Approach

Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach, Third Edition, has undergone a thorough update with the most significant rewrite related to the completely new GRASS6, the retirement of the site format, and substantial new code developed by the International GRASS Development Team. Also, completely new sections on attribute database management and SQL support were added, along with vector networks analysis, lidar data processing and new graphical user interfaces. Open Source GIS: A Grass GIS Approach, Third Edition, preserves the continuity of the first and second editions by keeping most of the books structure unchanged, and continues to target a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in government and industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for advanced-level students in geospatial analysis and modeling.
