Book Description
Explore, analyze, and elaborate on information you extract using ArcGIS® software with EXPLORING THE DYNAMIC EARTH: GIS INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE EARTH SCIENCES. This interactive investigation lets you tap the power of the ArcGIS® software to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. This guide emphasizes the visualization, analysis, and multimedia integration capabilities inherent to GIS. The GIS information has been preprocessed into maps and legends, and some procedures have been automated so you can focus on the science content.
About The Author

These materials have been extensively class-tested at both the college and high-school level using funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF). C. Scott Walker is with Harvard University. Anne Huth is with Science Education Solutions. Larry Kendall is an independent consultant.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Exploring the Dynamic Earth: GIS Investigations for the Earth Sciences (with CD-ROM) (Gis Investigations for the Earth Sciences) (Paperback)
You get a quick introduction to using GIS with geographic data. Perhaps the best thing about the book is the exposure you get to ArcView, which is one of the major GIS products out there in the marketplace. The book assumes no prior exposure to GIS. But if you are majoring in any of the earth sciences (geography foremost amongst these), then using GIS has now become a de facto mandatory requirement of your discipline. The book takes much of the mystique and difficulty out of using GIS. The book's brevity means that it does not go into any topic in detail. Perhaps the authors are planning sequels along these lines?
