{"product_id":"ground-truth-the-social-implications-of-geographic-information-systems-9780898622959","title":"Ground Truth: The Social Implications of Geographic Information Systems","description":"Over the past two decades, techniques for advanced computing and enhanced imaging have transformed the ways planners, geographers, surveyors, and others think about and visualize the places, regions, and peoples of the earth. Ground Truth is the first book to explicitly address the role of geographic information systems (GIS) in their social context. Contributing authors consider the ideas and practices that have emerged among GIS users, demonstrating how they reflect the material and political interests of certain groups. Chapters also discuss the impact of new GIS technologies on the discipline of geography, and evaluate the role of GIS within the wider transformations of free-market capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Pickles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Guilford Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.01w x 0.71d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780898622959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Pickles, an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography, is also member of the Committee on Social Theory at the University of Kentucky.
