Book Reviews : Analytic Mapping and Geographic Databases (Sage University Paper series on Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences, 07-087) G. David Garson and Robert S. Biggs Publisher: Sage Publications, Inc., 2455 Teller Rd., Newbury Park, CA 91320 Year of Publication: 1992 Length: 90 pages Price: $9.50

This introduction to analytic mapping and geographic databases provides a comprehensive overview of the field with particular attention to the use of microcomputer-based geographic information systems (GIS). Major sections provide detail on terminology; types of geographic files available (geographic, map, attribute, and datapoint) and sources for obtaining them; types of analytic maps (reference, choropleth, distribution, and isarithmic); special summary statistics used for topological applications; map graphics; presentation issues; and Gis application examples. The book's approach, reasonable cost, and readability are likely to make it the standard introduction to analytic mapping for nongeographers in the social sciences.
