Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good book
I bought this book for a class but it is self explanatory if you are looking to learn more about GIS on your own. Make sure you buy it new otherwise the cd software for ArcGIS could be past the 180 day expiration date. Overall, a good book to have as a resource to learn more about what GIS can do for you. The seller also sent it in excellent condition and a timely manner.

Product was exactly as it was described and arrived in a reasonable amount of time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A nice, basic GIS primer with ArcGIS software included
I 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



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good primer for ArcGIS
I used this book for an online GIS course through the University of Washington and found the contents to be very helpful. The step-by-step process is instructive and helps to gain an understanding of the basic functions of ArcGIS.

Conversely, there are times when the book does not give enough detail to allow for troubleshooting. I found there were situations that arose in certain processes that the book did not cover, even though I was following the step-by-step process.
