Editorial Review Product Description Introducing Geographic Information Systems with ArcGIS, Second Edition serves as both an easy-to-understand introduction to GIS and a hands-on manual for the ArcGIS 9.3 software. This combination theory-workbook approach is designed to quickly bring the reader from GIS neophyte to well-informed GIS user from both a general knowledge and practical viewpoint. Replacing the traditional separate texts on theory and application, the book integrates a broad introduction to GIS with a software-specific workbook for ESRIs ArcGIS in a single comprehensive volume.¿Easy to read, interesting, and at times quite amusing, the new edition is even more accessible to a wide variety of readers. Each chapter presents two mutually supporting sections: Overview- a discussion of theory and ideas relating to GIS, laying the groundwork for spatial analysis Step-by-step instructions on how to use ArcGIS software. There are sixty exercises and nine review exercises throughout the book, covering most of the topics students need to gain GIS jobs or continue work in GIS or GIScience Complete with a CD-ROM containing data for working out all of the exercises, this Second Edition provides an updated examination of file geodatabases including vector, raster, and 3D GIS with terrains. On completion of this text, students will have acquired in-depth understanding of GIS theory and how to operate the ArcGIS software. They will have been exposed, through additional hands-on demonstrations, to virtually everything about GIS that supports spatial analysis. Written by an author with over thirty years of experience writing software manuals, Introducing Geographic Information Systems with ArcGIS, Second Edition puts readers on the quick road to mastery of GIS.

Vast New Applications One future direction is in developing innovative ways to query the GIS data, and to hook it up to other databases, like weather maps. Thus far, GIS has existed for what will one day be seen as small, specialised applications, like oceanside and mining activities. In reality, the much larger markets exist in urban areas, where most people are. By checking out this book, you can get a feel for how these new applications might be developed. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Now in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this widely adopted text and practical reference addresses all aspects of developing and using geographic information systems (GIS) within an organization. Coverage includes the role of the GIS professional, how geographic information fits into broader management information systems, the use of GIS in strategic planning, and ways to navigate the organizational processes that support or inhibit the success of GIS implementation. All chapters retained from the prior edition have been thoroughly updated to reflect significant technological, empirical, and conceptual advances, as well as the changing contexts of GIS use. New chapters discuss organizational politics, metadata, legal issues, and GIS ethics. |

Editorial Review Product Description This book stresses both concepts and practice. GIS concepts from fields such as geography, cartography, spatial analysis, and database management explain the purpose and objectives of GIS operations and the interrelationship among GIS operations. A basic understanding of map projection, for example, explains why we must project map layers to be used together to a common coordinate system and why we need to input numerous projection parameters. Each chapter in this book is divided into two main sections. The first section covers topics and concepts addressed in the chapter. The second section covers applications, usually with three to five problem-solving tasks. To include data sets and instructions for the practice sections, we chose GIS packages as examples for this book, and ArcView software is included complimentary with this textbook.

Decent mix of GIS theory and arcview specifics However, as I read this book more, I got to like it and appreciate it much more.It occupies a unique niche in the GIS literature field, because *NO OTHER BOOK* that I have been able to track down (with one exception given below) combines high level GIS concepts with their realization in ArcView (if there are others I'd like to know). Most other books are either GIS theory alone, or very *very* low level bloated books about ArcView as a program (e.g. practically everything esri publishes), with little or no connection to, or explication of, high level GIS concepts, theory, and data structures. (Also as I read on, the writing became less soporific: I don't know if this was because I got used to the author's writing style, or if the writing actually improved.) In contrast to all those other ArcView books, this book presents some GIS theory, and then shows how to actually do something with these concepts in ArcView.The exercises on the CD provide data and shapefiles specific to what is being taught, so that the reader learns how to actually do quite powerful things in ArcView. It became quite exciting to see some of the cool things that could be done as the chapters went on.(For learning and using ArcView, this book goes along well with Theobald's excellent reference on ArcView, which also bridges the gap between GIS theory and ArcView by presenting almost every nut and bolt relevant to ArcView usage, organized by high level GIS concepts.) Regarding the complaints in the other review:I encountered just a couple of bugs in the supplied CD exercises, and most of them could by remedied in one way or another.(The newer printing of the book may or may not have these bugs fixed.)Although a trial version of ArcView is included on the CD for installing on your home computer (I used a Mac with Virtual PC), the text includes exercises using the ArcInfo program when there was something that couldn't be done in ArcView.On the book's cover, they clearly mention that only ArcView is included on the CD.For the exercises which required special extensions such as 3D Analyst, we used the college's computers which had those extensions installed, so that was not a problem.It is unfortunate that not every tool covered in the book could have a trial verision included in the CD (not the fault of the publisher, but of esri), but I'd rather have the knowledge coverage in the book so I can learn about it even if the program is not on the CD. I think this book deserves five stars for content, but I'm giving it four because of the stylistic problems described above.
