Description
If you've never heard of geographic information systems (GIS), The Power of Where is the book for you, and if you think you know what GIS is, you might be surprised to learn how far it has advanced. From the Ring of Fire to the Fertile Crescent, this book shows through its maps and stories how a growing GIS community is facing down humanity's big challenges. Central to the book is the geographic approach--a way of solving problems that uses spatial location to perceive and understand patterns--from wildlife migration and rising seas to urban planning and food production. Its message arises from a deep human sense of place and conviction that this collaborative approach can help us confront climate change, hunger, water scarcity, inequity, biodiversity loss, and issues large and small in our everyday lives. Explore live examples from the book and learn more about interactive mapping and the tools of modern GIS at thepowerofwherebook.com. Jack Dangermond, the cofounder and president of Esri, is internationally acknowledged as the leading visionary in the field of GIS technology. For more than 50 years he has guided Esri's GIS mapping and analytic technologies worldwide.
