Giving social scientists and students a solid introduction to Geographical Information Systems (GIS), this study focuses on some of society's most pressing issues, including growth, pollution, and economic development. By calling upon such high-end analytical tools as Global Positioning System navigation and satellite imagery, GIS can be a critical tool in examining social problems. This study encourages readers to be visionary and even utopian in imagining better urban futures by concentrating on three related topics--urbanization, conflicts between natural and built environments, and regional equity. The introductory and spatial analysis chapters expand this understanding so that readers see both urban problems and urban opportunities more clearly.

Think Globally, Act Regionally: GIS and Data Visualization for Social Science and Public Policy Research
I've been reading (and re-reading) this book for the last 2 years, and it's fantastic! So many tremendous names in Computer Graphics contributed to this book, so you know it's got terrific information. Ken Perlin and Stephen Worley both contribute chapters on their respective noise algorithms, so you're hearing their wisdom first hand!
Like I said, I'm still reading it - I jump around a lot, and mostly read the lighting/texturing side of the book. I haven't spent much time reading the modeling stuff, but I think its safe to assume that it is equally good.
One of the best CG books I own!
