My graduate class raced through this text, successfully I guess. As a GIS researcher, I found that the concerns surrounding the interface of GIS and human geography were handled in a biased way. In this I mean that the one chapter that deals with the techniques of human geography did a marginal job discussing GIS as just another in a line of positivist technical skills, rather than a true path for research.
