商品描述

Description:

Now everyone can create smart maps for school, work, home, or community action using a personal computer

Although we don't think about it much, there's a geographic component to just about everything human beings do-that is, almost every activity, thing, trend, issue, or phenomenon takes place at a particular location on the earth. This truth is at the core of a powerful digital technology-geographic information systems, or GIS.

Using a GIS, virtually any kind of data can be placed on a digital map, then visualized, compared, measured, and analyzed. Many governments and large organizations use GIS because of the astonishing diversity of information types that can be mapped and analyzed-these range from population demographics, to health statistics and epidemiology, utility and transportation networks, flood protection zones, animal migration routes, crime patterns, historical battlefields, sales and marketing trends, disaster destruction areas, and much more.

GIS for Everyone, Third Edition provides an easy introduction to this powerful technology. Everything you need to get started with GIS you'll find in this new edition, including the latest free GIS software from ESRI, 500 MB of digital geographic data, and free access to valuable data for any U.S. ZIP Code.

Using clear language and carefully organized lessons, this self-study workbook will have anyone-student, small business owner, or community leader-creating GIS projects within minutes. Using data from the CD and from the Geography NetworkSM, readers will be able to create digital maps and simple geographic analyses for use in school or work projects, or on Web sites-bringing the power of GIS to any location on earth.

描述:
現在每個人都可以使用個人電腦為學校、工作、家庭或社區行動創建智能地圖。
儘管我們很少考慮這一點,但幾乎人類所做的每一件事情都有地理組成部分,也就是說,幾乎每一個活動、事物、趨勢、問題或現象都發生在地球上的特定位置。這個真理是一種強大的數字技術-地理信息系統(GIS)的核心。
使用GIS,幾乎可以將任何類型的數據放在數字地圖上,然後進行可視化、比較、測量和分析。許多政府和大型組織使用GIS,因為可以對各種各樣的信息類型進行地圖化和分析-這些信息類型包括人口統計、健康統計和流行病學、公用事業和交通網絡、防洪區域、動物遷徙路線、犯罪模式、歷史戰場、銷售和營銷趨勢、災害破壞區域等等。
《GIS for Everyone, Third Edition》提供了對這一強大技術的簡單介紹。在這個新版本中,您可以找到開始使用GIS所需的一切,包括來自ESRI的最新免費GIS軟件、500 MB的數字地理數據以及免費訪問任何美國郵政編碼的有價值的數據。
通過清晰的語言和精心組織的課程,這本自學工作手冊將使任何人-學生、小企業主或社區領導者-在幾分鐘內創建GIS項目。使用CD和Geography NetworkSM的數據,讀者將能夠創建數字地圖和簡單的地理分析,用於學校或工作項目,或在網站上-將GIS的功能帶到地球上的任何位置。
