Opis

The Routledge Handbook of Spatial History explores the full range of ways in which GIS can be used to study the past. Through a series of case studies, these original chapters look at ways of turning sources into a GIS database, methods of analysing these databases, methods of visualising the results of the analyses, and approaches to interpreting analyses and visualisations. The authors consider key questions such as how they implemented the use of GIS within their study and what new knowledge were they able to develop solely as a consequence of using GIS. Each author also critically evaluates how effective GIS was, focussing on both its strengths and its limitations.
