Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exploring the Dynamic Earth: GIS Investigations for the Earth Sciences, ArcGIS Edition (Paperback)
I used this book in a GIS class. This is a great cursory look at plate boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes and it is pretty straight forward. It is a poor GIS book.
Working through the exercises with ArcGIS, one is instructed to turn layers on and off; zoom to a feature and turn layers on or off again; pull information out of the statistics tool; turn more layers on or off. The GIS aspect of this book is ridiculously elementary and this book shouldn't really be used in any GIS class. It would work well in an introductory earth science class. A major disadvantage is that the book relies entirely on data supplied by the publisher. This data is NOT supplied to the reader by the publisher, it is supplied to the instructor by the publisher. This makes working ahead impossible if the data has not been passed out. On the chance someone purchased it for personal curiosity, the book would be useless. If you need it for a class, go ahead and get it. If you are a GIS student or professional looking to increase your skill set, don't waste your money.
