Résumé :	As a newbie to GIS, I was after a book that not only explained GIS is a straight forward structure, but actually taught me through hands on practice. And thats exactly what this book does. Its based on a US university course, so it goes from pretty much ground zero by way of a series of tasks and projects up to quite a high level. Its backed by a data disc that allows you to carry out all of the exercises and record results as you go. It is designed to be used in conjunction with ArcGIS software (version 10.0 to be precise), so you need to get a free time trial of that for the book to make sense. It is not designed as a stand alone read! The only comment to make (not really a critisism) is that ArcGIS is now 2 versions up 10.2 and so some text references to where atributes are held for example may have altered. True of any software guide of course. So full marks for an intuitive, no nonsense GIS primer and practical work book. Quatrième de couverture An integrated approach that combines essential GIS background with a practical workbook on applying the principles in ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1 Introducing Geographic Information Systems with ArcGISintegrates a broad introduction to GIS with a software–specific workbook for Esri′s ArcGIS. Where most courses make do using two separate texts, one covering GIS and another the software, this book enables students and instructors to use a single text with an integrated approach covering both in one volume with a common vocabulary and instructional style. This revised edition focuses on the latest software updates ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1. In addition to its already successful coverage, the book allows students to experience publishing maps on the Internet through new exercises, and introduces the idea of programming in the language Esri has chosen for applications (i.e., Python). A DVD is packaged with the book, as in prior editions, containing data for working out all of the exercises.
