Spatial Databases: With Application to GIS (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Spatial Databases covers all of the major themes of the field -- representation,
query languages, computational geometry, spatial indexing -- using geographic
information systems as the principal application domain and motivation. It will make
an excellent introduction for computer science professionals and students interested
in exploring GIS, or for GIS professionals interested in learning more about the
computer science foundations of the field. The book is also an excellent guide to the
literature, with comprehensive bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter."

"Spatial Databases is a well-written, comprehensive treatment of a multi-disciplinary field, spanning computational geometry, database modeling, object-orientation, and query processing. The book presents both advanced research and commercial systems in a clear and accessible manner. This book is essential for understanding the current state of the art. Well done!"
