GIS Fundamentals, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgements

Thanks to Irma Britton at CRC Press who first suggested a second edition of this book and who then helped through the writing process and to various staff at CRC Press for help in the production process. The quality of the book was improved enormously by extremely helpful suggestions from Peter van Oosterom and Nick Tate and from Marc van Kreveld and Steve Maddock who helped me understand the Bentley–Ottmann algorithm.
