Remote Sensing & GIS Editorial Review
The customer reviews for "GIS and Public Health, 2nd Edition" are largely positive. The book is described as being clearly written and a great addition to an office library, particularly for grad students. It covers a variety of health and environmental issues and is well-packaged and accurately described. However, one reader expresses difficulty in accessing the companion web page for the data and exercises that come with the text. This textbook is well-received for its depth in exploring the combination of GIS and public health, making it suitable for serious students looking to increase their understanding in these areas. It is, however, noted that this book may not be suitable for those looking to solely learn GIS, suggesting that readers would need to acquire that skill elsewhere.
