Exploring Environmental Science with GIS by Stewart et al

This short book provides a set of exercises aimed at students and instructors who are new to GIS, but are familiar with the Windows operating system. The exercises focus on improving analytical skills, understanding spatial relationships, and understanding the nature and structure of environmental data. Because the software used is distributed free of charge, this text is appropriate for courses and schools that are not yet ready to commit to the expense and time involved in acquiring other GIS packages.

The book includes carefully edited selections for the works of the most distinguished environmental observers, past and present. Selections are organized topically around the following major areas of study: energy, environmental degradation, population issues and the environment, human health and the environment, and environment and society.
