商品描述

A unique approach to learning and teaching GIS, updated for ArcGIS 9.3

Introducing Geographic Information Systems with ArcGIS, Second Edition serves as both an easy-to-understand introduction to GIS and a hands-on manual for the ArcGIS 9.3 software. This combination theory-workbook approach is designed to quickly bring the reader from GIS neophyte to well-informed GIS user from both a general knowledge and practical viewpoint.

Replacing the traditional separate texts on theory and application, the book integrates a broad introduction to GIS with a software-specific workbook for ESRIs ArcGIS in a single comprehensive volume.¿Easy to read, interesting, and at times quite amusing, the new edition is even more accessible to a wide variety of readers.

Each chapter presents two mutually supporting sections:

Overview- a discussion of theory and ideas relating to GIS, laying the groundwork for spatial analysis

Step-by-step instructions on how to use ArcGIS software. There are sixty exercises and nine review exercises throughout the book, covering most of the topics students need to gain GIS jobs or continue work in GIS or GIScience

Complete with a CD-ROM containing data for working out all of the exercises, this Second Edition provides an updated examination of file geodatabases including vector, raster, and 3D GIS with terrains. On completion of this text, students will have acquired in-depth understanding of GIS theory and how to operate the ArcGIS software. They will have been exposed, through additional hands-on demonstrations, to virtually everything about GIS that supports spatial analysis.

Written by an author with over thirty years of experience writing software manuals, Introducing Geographic Information Systems with ArcGIS, Second Edition puts readers on the quick road to mastery of GIS.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《引介ArcGIS的地理信息系统入門,第二版》是一本獨特的學習和教授GIS的書籍,已更新至ArcGIS 9.3版本。這本書既是對GIS的易於理解的介紹,也是ArcGIS 9.3軟體的實踐手冊。這種結合理論和實作的方法旨在從一般知識和實際觀點迅速將讀者從GIS新手變成熟練的GIS使用者。

這本書將傳統的理論和應用分開的方式替換為一本綜合性的單一書籍,將對GIS的廣泛介紹與ESRI ArcGIS軟體的特定工作手冊相結合。這本新版書籍易於閱讀,有趣且有時令人愉快,更容易被各種讀者接受。

每章都包含兩個相互支持的部分:
1. 概述-討論與GIS相關的理論和思想,為空間分析打下基礎。
2. 逐步指導如何使用ArcGIS軟體。書中共有60個練習和9個復習練習,涵蓋了大多數學生需要獲得GIS工作或繼續在GIS或GIScience領域工作所需的主題。

這本第二版附帶一個包含所有練習數據的CD-ROM,提供了對文件地理數據庫(包括矢量、栅格和3D GIS與地形)的更新探討。完成本書後,學生將深入了解GIS理論以及如何操作ArcGIS軟體。通過額外的實際演示,他們將對支持空間分析的GIS幾乎所有方面有所了解。

《引介ArcGIS的地理信息系统入門,第二版》由一位擁有三十多年軟體手冊撰寫經驗的作者撰寫,讓讀者迅速掌握GIS的精髓。
