"Getting to Know ArcGIS for Desktop is a workbook that introduces the principles of GIS via hands-on exercises. Readers are shown how to use ArcGIS for Desktop software tools to display and present maps and data, and then query and analyze the data. The third edition has been reorganized and includes new topics such as exploring online resources and raster data and contains new exercises, data, and learning tools. Known for its broad scope, clarity, and reliability, Getting to Know ArcGIS for Desktop is equally well-suited for classroom use, independent study, and as a reference. A data DVD for working through the exercises is included with the book, and access to a 180-day trial of ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop is provided"-- - Book News
Law, a cartographer who works with geographic information system (GIS) software, writes technical documentation, teaches training courses, and designs and optimizes user interfaces, and Collins, a technical editor and writer who develops GIS materials, present a workbook for beginners that details the fundamentals of GIS using exercises that teach the functions of ArcGIS for Desktop. They explain how to make maps, carry out spatial analysis, and build and edit spatial databases in the context of realistic projects. Exercises cover navigating digital maps, finding GIS data online, setting map projections, symbolizing and labeling maps, classifying data, making map layouts, querying maps, analyzing spatial relationships, editing data, geocoding addresses, and other tasks. Reorganized, this edition is compatible with ArcGIS 10.1 and has new graphics and discussions about current geospatial technology tools, as well as new topics like exploring online resources and working with raster data, and new exercises, replaced datasets, and new learning tools. Some advanced capabilities are discussed. The DVD includes maps, exercise data, and results. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - Ingram Publishing Services
