Mastering Arcgis

Written as a first course in geographic information systems, this textbook covers the core skills needed to become comfortable with GIS. It guides students through the demanding process of learning complex mapping software one stage at a time, so the software's many functions feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

What sets the book apart is its companion video library. Narrated recordings walk learners through each chapter's tutorial exercises, showing the actions on screen before students attempt similar tasks independently.
