Editorial Review: Product Description: This teaching tool is designed with both self-study users and classroom users in mind, offering nine steps for learning ArcView GIS software that have been developed and tested at the GIS labs at Carnegie Mellon University. This hands-on approach simulates how a GIS project would be developed, covering map design, GIS outputs, importing spatial and data attributes, digitizing, address matching, spatial data processing, and spatial analysis. A companion CD-ROM includes additional exercises for each tutorial chapter provides and integrative cases that cut across chapters. The book also includes a full working copy of ArcView GIS software (good for 180 days from the date of installation) and all of the sample data required to run the exercises. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Good preliminary to Mastering ArcGISWe used Mastering ArcGIS in a GIS practicum course-dual level, and did 2 chapters a week including all exercises. I had had several GIS theory courses with a bit of GIS practice,and found it frustrating, although I got through it. I then decided to use the GIS Tutorial book to pick up some stuff I might not know, and to prevent me from forgetting it all over the summer.

It goes through each ArcView function in a step by step process with visual aids for each step so you know you are on the right track. The tutorial CD is very helpful too. Rating: - Fantastic GIS Tutorial!!!I originally purchased this book for a college class that I am taking. It is easy to follow and self-explanatory. It is so easy to use that you almost don't need a professor to teach you. This book is wonderful. Almost anyone could pick it up, install the software that comes with it and be using GIS in moments- with ease. This book will wt your appetite for what GIS is capable of doing. There seem to be no limits, just one's imagination. Rating: - Great Tutorrial - needed for getting startedIm into my sixth class in GIS and this tutorial covers a lot of what I got bits and pieces of. Its a great book that walks you through everything. I'm up to chapter 6. Some vague things and some mis-prints Rating: - A fine primer, but flawedIf you're looking for a step-by-step-hold-your-hand-guide to ArcView then this is your book. However ...and this is a big However... you'd better learn each lesson thoroughly as you go along, because there is no index. Let me repeat... no index. Oh, sure there's pages and pages of ESRI software license agreement, but no index. That being said, it is a fine reference and a good place to learn the basics.
