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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis revised edition focuses on the latest software updates—ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1.
