GIS Tutorial: Workbook for ArcView 9

A clear step-by-step guide to GIS. The tutorials are very clear, however, the instructions for the assignments at the end of the tutorial is not so clear. If your professor using the book's rubric to grade the paper, be careful because the rubric is so detailed and specific, but the instruction for the assignments are not--just remember to label your maps and label where the data source is from--e.g. Census 2000 from Pittsburg, Pennsyvlania.

Excellent introductory text

This workbook is well organized and very easy to follow. It would serve as an excellent resource for those just learning to use GIS, and an excellent refresher for those upgrading to the 9.3 version of the software. However the utility of this book begins to wane as you approach an intermediate level of proficiency with the software. An index would have been a nice addition to the text, so that specific commands could be referenced and found easily within the text. You will not become an expert with ArcGIS simply by using this book, but it will set you up to get there.

Excellent work with minor flaws

I found this to be an excellent book to teach the Arc family of products. I have learned a lot. The work assignments in Chapter 5 are confusing because the author doesn't tell the reader what projections are to be used. Took about four hours to decipher the intent that could have been resolved with two words. The ESRI web site has changed since the book was written and there are other minor frustrations. I hope that in the next edition someone who is new to the GIS field goes through the book and provides feedback to the author on what doesn't work. However, all in all, it is an excellent, though slightly flawed resource.
