The GIS 20: Essential Skills featured at ESRI.com

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:30:00 GMT

Dear Listers, I recently wrote a book called The GIS 20: Essential Skills. It has been published by ESRI press and is featured today at <a href="http://www.esri.com/">http://www.esri.com/</a> under "Announcements" on the homepage. I wanted to get the word out for those that are at the UC. It's available at the bookstore and the ESRI press booth. I also wanted to say thanks to those who filled out the survey, which helped to shape this book. The book was inspired by a poll of 500 GIS practitioners, it is an easy-to-understand guide that emphasizes the top twenty skills most people need to master to be successful using GIS. A quick and comprehensive introduction to fundamental GIS skills, this book includes a data CD for completing the exercises. There are a few unique things about this book: -This book teaches 20 essential skills in 20 exercises. It's a completely new way of teaching GIS focusing on completing a specific and common task, such as geocoding, or reference mapping. -It's the most version free book ESRI offers to date, it's written for ArcGIS 10 but is compatible with 9.x versions of the software. -It include a data cd, but the exercises are written so your own data can be used to complete exercises. -The book is written in a relaxed tone, using everyday language (non-jargon), which is a significant change from previous ESRI books. -The price point is more reasonable than many other GIS books. To view a table of contents and a sample chapter, please visit <a href="http://www.esri.com/">http://www.esri.com/</a> or the ESRI Press site at <a href="http://esripress.esri.com/display/index.cfm?fuseaction=display&websiteID=176&moduleID=1">http://esripress.esri.com/display/index.cfm?fuseaction=display&websiteID=176&moduleID=1</a> if you are an educator you can order a free desk copy <a href="http://esripress.esri.com/offers/deskcopy/index.cfm">http://esripress.esri.com/offers/deskcopy/index.cfm</a> Note that desk copies will not be shipped until well after the initial book release in mid-July. Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments. I am also happy to schedule a call with you and your GIS colleagues to discuss.

In areas served by public water and sewer, conservation design techniques can be readily combined with TND principles to create walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods, often involving infill projects and incremental growth around the community's outer edges. This program shows how higher density neighborhoods can be designed around the central organizing principle of an open space network and incorporate distinctive features of the natural and cultural landscape, producing more sustainable results. This program is based largely on Randall Arendts last two books: Envisioning Better Communities and Crossroads, Hamlet, Village, Town. Randall Arendt is a landscape planner, site designer, author, lecturer, and an advocate for conservation design. This webcast is sponsored by the Connecticut Chapter of APA.
