Description

GIS Research Methods by Nick Bearman provides a comprehensive overview of geographic information systems and geographic information science for those without a technical background. From its origins in John Snow's Cholera map to modern software and analysis techniques, the book covers the history and development of GIS. Bearman guides readers through finding, using, and evaluating data sets, critiquing existing maps, and highlighting common mistakes. The book also explores various GIS methods, including Google Maps, GPS, big data, context, and choropleth maps, discussing their pros and cons to help researchers choose the right approach for their work. This book is ideal for anyone considering using GIS in their own research, providing a non-technical introduction to the science and tools behind geographic information systems.
