Description
Unique its integration of a broad introduction to GIS with a software-specific workbook for ESRI's ArcGIS, this book is not just another Intro to GIS text.  Where most courses make due using two separate texts, one covering GIS and another the software, this book enables instructors to use a single text with an integrated approach covering both in one volume with a common vocabulary and instructional style. This makes instruction easier since the instructor doesn't have to reconcile two different approaches which can be confusing to students new to the topic.  Written by an author with over 30 years of experience writing software manuals, this book is easy to read, interesting, and at times, funny.
