5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource!, February 26, 2008
This review is from: GIS Tutorial for Health (CD-ROM)
I'm working on a teaching moduel for an independent study in GIS and I purchased this book to help me understand how GIS can be used in the Health field. IT'S OUTSTANDING! For any GIS instructor out there, you should check out this book, because the chapter assignments are brilliant from a teaching stand point. They force the user to really explore how GIS is used in the world today and look beyond the simple tutorial commands to introduce you to the software. The assignments make you explore the internet for data and learn how GIS is being used elsewhere. By far the best GIS book I've used sofar.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro to GIS, March 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GIS Tutorial for Health: Third Edition (Paperback)
This is not a very comprehensive set of tutorials, but offers an excellent guide for first time users. I would recommend paring this book with a more technical GIS text such as "GIS Fundamentals" by Bolstad.
