5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource, June 13, 2008
By B. Hudiburgh (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book for a graduate course in GIS and was impressed by the layout and information provided. There are other books out there that are also good, but for someone just starting out in looking at emergency response and GIS, this book does the trick.
