This book is written for the individual, the business person, communities and for governments (politicians and bureaucrats) everywhere who want to become or remain successful in the new economic era that we have just entered which is driven by and dependent on geospatial or geographic information. This book uses clear language and ample illustrations to describe how we got to where we are and provides a simple but accurate introduction to the major geospatial technologies being used today.
