Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro (Paperback-2020)

Shellito’s Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro provides students with hands-on work with GIS software, while explaining the “how” and “why” behind each application. Software changes quickly―the theory has a longer shelf life. The goal of Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro is to teach students how to combine GIS concepts with ArcGIS Pro software skills, preparing students for successful careers in the real world. Each chapter focuses on using a variety of ArcGIS tools in a real-world context. At the start of each chapter, a scenario puts the student in a particular role with a number of tasks to accomplish.
