The first single-project GIS textbook on the market, Understanding GIS: An ArcGIS Pro Project Workbook, third edition is an excellent resource for students and educators seeking a guide for an advanced, single-project-based course that incorporates GIS across a wide range of disciplines.

Each exercise offers step-by-step instructions, graphics to confirm exercise results, and explanations of key concepts. The book includes access to ArcGIS Desktop software, which includes ArcGIS Pro. Project data (real data, all of it updated) is downloadable from the book's resource web page.

ARC/INFO Basics

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago

This book explains the basic concepts of the ARC/INFO GIS and handles the basic functions of ARC/INFO key by key. It's begins with the data structure, digitizing process, data cleanup, till the final map composition. It's a useful starting point for dummies as well as for more experienced GIS users with no ARC/INFO experience. When you've gone through this book ARC/INFO will certainly not have given all his secrets free but their will be a light in the darkness.

Good fundamental book for the beginning GIS student.

I have used this book as a GIS lab manual for the past 3 years for a beginning GIS course and find that the book is well organized. It takes students all the way from data entry to analysis. The book is clear enough to be used without assistance.This book has set the defacto standard for GIS lab manuals.
