5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book on ArcView,
By Book Fan (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GIS Concepts and ArcView Methods (Spiral-bound)
This is the best book I've seen on ArcView, and I looked hard. Most other books are very bloated books which concentrate on step by step instructions but don't give you the broad view of what a GIS is and why and how to use it. This book successfully integrates GIS theory and motivation and strategy with how to do it in ArcView. Information is effectively and concisely presented and you get lots of depth. This book assumes you have no GIS information but leads you to some quite sophisticated usage (e.g. scripts and programming). It also presents lots of nice nice items that aren't evident in the documentation, and neat tricks (e.g. how to make an ArcView project portable so that it can run on more than one computer without all the file links being broken).If you have never used a computer and are uncomfortable with menus, etc., you might want to get one of the more introductory books. (But then, you are unlikely to be reading this review if that is who you are). If you are comfortable with computers and just want to get the details on how to do interesting things with ArcView, this is the book for you. |
