Features
All of the chapters were carefully reviewed for accuracy, and to make their content as up-to-date as possible. Similarly, the addresses and telephone numbers of mapping companies and agencies were verified and updated. In addition, recent changes in the organization of mapping activities in Canada were incorporated into Appendix A.
E-mail addresses and world wide web URLs were removed from the text due to the frequency with which they change. Instead, they are listed on this web site and will be regularly updated.
Overall, there are 17 new or revised illustrations in the text. These include a new radar image and a 1-meter resolution remote-sensing image, which only recently became available.
A full chapter on GIS applications (chapter 21) helps students become comfortable with this cutting edge technology and exposes them to the uses and implications for use.
