A required text

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. The text is dry, as only British Academics can manage, but is very comprehensive. My Berkley-trained prof like the book, if that helps at all.
