Getting to Know ArcView GIS

Description:

Here is your opportunity to test drive ArcView GIS from ESRI. The CD-ROM packaged with this introductory book includes a working demonstration copy of ArcView GIS software, a hands-on ArcView tutorial, and informative multimedia presentations.

Part I of the book is a nontechnical introduction to GIS technology (available separately as the book Getting to Know Desktop GIS) Part II offers illustrated, step-by-step procedures and tips for using ArcView Software to perform scores of GIS tasks. Readers can follow the scenario based excercises in the book or work through them on-line using the data and software provided on the CD-ROM.

The book is teeming with full-color maps and illustrations than complement the book's easy-to-read text. Readers will come away with a solid understanding of basic GIS concepts and the skills they will need to embark on an ArcView project of their own.
