Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop, Second Edition contains conceptual material followed by scripted software exercises. Readers acquire skills in a variety of areas -- map symbology, data overlay, map projection, and data conversion, to name a few -- as they make maps and analyze geographic data. The book culminates with a set of spatial modeling exercises using the ModelBuilder technology of ArcGIS version 9. ModelBuilder is a graphical environment for representing, automating, and solving spatial analysis problems. Included with the book is a fully functioning version of ArcView 9 software on CD-ROM, as well as a CD of data for working through the book's exercises. Operating System(OS): The single-use ArcGIS Demo Edition software on the CD in this edition requires the Microsoft© Windows© XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT© (Service Pack 6a) operating system.
