Customer Reviews

Great text / reference / primer for Health GIS

This book provides a really excellent introduction and overview of the growing field of GIS applications in public health. Thorough and complete, well- and clearly-written, it covers everything a GIS student or beginning practitioner needs to know to get started in this young but rapidly expanding field. It is especially valuable when used in conjunction with a practical tutorial workbook such as GIS Tutorial for Health.

This is the best book ever!! Everyone should read it, it's life changing!
