GIS combines the open-ended exploration inherent in GIS with the
structure of nationally standardized course content, classroom
activities, teacher notes, student handouts, and assessments. The book
and accompanying materials help both GIS novices and experienced users
conduct far-ranging geographic exploration. From ESRI Press, 2008.

enabling the students to perform sophisticated analyses in a variety
of
content areas. This book encourages readers to investigate and answer
questions, create their own analyses, and make decisions based on
real-world concerns. From ESRI Press, 2008.
