PostGIS follows the Simple Features for SQL specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). This is the first book with an in-depth and comprehensive approach to the subject. Although PG has a complete on-line documentation, and a growing community, it is useful to have all this stuff packed for ready use. Being an interdisciplinar matter , mastering it requires ,at least, an elementary knowledge of a computer language - SQL - plus fundamentals of cartography and geodesics - projections, datums geographical coordinate systems - and also the basics of geographical analysis - geometrical operations and computations between polygons, lines and points. So, it is really hard stuff, and i think the authors suceeded to present all this material in a organized and readable way. I have a background on traditional GIS packages - like ArcView and ArcMap, and i would recommend this book for anyone triyng - as i am - to learn new approaches on geodatabase management and Geographical Analysis.Being a new an interdisciplinary subject,there is a considerable learning curve, but the authors provide very basic examples to starters, and an excellent appendix full of on-line resources. Review: The power of PostGIS/PostgreSQL spatial database - I love the PostGIS/PostgreSQL spatial database. Before I bought the PostGIS in Action Book from desertcart, I got a link and downloaded a draft of the PostGIS in Action. As I ready the pdf file, I discovered that it had all I needed to kick-start building a GeoStack of PostGIS/PostgreSQL, GeoServer, Apache/Tomcat, QGIS, Openjump and uDIG on Debian GNU/Linux squeeze. I gained alot of skills and knowledge on working with Geography and Geometry. Additionally, since we are establishing a GIS Laboratory at the work place, the Book will provide the much needed skills in building a spatial database, Application Server, Desktop GIS and Cartographic map renderer, Map tile server and Web map component using the following software: PostGIS/PostgreSQL, GeoServer, Apache/Tomcat, uDIG, Openjump, QGIS, GRASS GIS and Openlayers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,178,404 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,013 in Geographic Information Systems #1,195 in SQL #1,745 in Computer Simulation (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (15) | | Dimensions | 7.38 x 1.1 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1935182269 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1935182269 | | Item Weight | 1.9 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | In Action | | Print length | 520 pages | | Publication date | May 1, 2011 | | Publisher | Manning | ## Images ![PostGIS in Action - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Nt04Q+uoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An invaluable PostGIS guide *by L***A on August 30, 2011* PostGIS is an open source software program that adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database.
