Product Description

Designed to facilitate an understanding of local places using geographic information system (GIS) technology to effect change, this text encourages everyone from students to active citizens to seek out and study important issues and problems facing their own communities. Detailed are the uses of GIS in such endeavors as mapping crime, analyzing landfill hazards, tracking river water quality, taking inventory of trees, and planning school transportation. Each study module contains a case study, a companion GIS exercise, and an exercise for independent study that can be detailed to users' own communities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, Slow Service, July 19, 2005

By	Cliff Craig - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This small text is great for beginners in GIS software and also for teaching students grades K-12. However, it took me over a month to get the books, so if you need them quickly, plan in advance.
