Using ArcMap

Rating:
Summary: Adequate book for beginners
Review: This text does a pretty good job at skimming the vast amount of options and features of ArcMap, but seldom gets into real detail. Because of this, the potential of this expensive software gets largely unused. On a whole, I think it's a small stepping stone towards helping users understand what ArcMap can really do. For such a large book, there doesn't seem to be much in it of serious value. If you're a first time user of Arc software and GIS, this might help. But if you're an experienced GIS user, it comes up way short.
