Spatial modeling exercises using the Model Builder technology of ArcGIS version 9 are also provided. Other topics covered include organizing data, planning a GIS project, creating derived data, and presenting results. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Faster delivery + Good BookI ordered this book from Amamzon since they offered better price than my University Bookstore. The delivery was much faster than expected.

Rating: - A nice, basic GIS primer with ArcGIS software includedI teach an introductory GIS course using this book. I like the simple, informative layout and the exercises that are useful, if a little basic. One of the real values of the book is the inclusion of a trial version of ArcGIS 9.2 with a full gamut of extensions (there is a newer book out with 9.3), as well as exercises that go along with the book. This in itself is very valuable, because it allows my students to use the state of the art software during the course on their personal ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
