- Summary:
- "Human geography, taught with live, interactive maps and data for a unique geographic perspective. The essential concepts and theories of human geography are brought to life thanks to the innovative integration of web maps. "Introduction to Human Geography Using ArcGIS Online," second edition, explains topics like migration, food and agriculture, and cultural geography. Unlike traditional textbooks, this book approaches geography through the use of Esri's ArcGIS® Online and provides tutorials on how to interact with, analyze, and create maps. ArcGIS Online is a browser-based geographic information system (GIS) that allows users to explore thousands of geographic datasets and interactive maps. Students using this book use live data and maps to ground their understanding of how the world is organized and how human and physical features interact to create unique places and regions. Each chapter includes ArcGIS Online exercises that reinforce geographic concepts. This second edition features updated maps, figures and charts reflecting the latest data and includes new text on contemporary issues. Designed for undergraduate college and AP high school students, "Introduction to Human Geography Using ArcGIS Online," second edition, uses the latest geospatial data and web-based technology to teach critical thinking and the diversity of humans within their environments and their impact on our planet"-- Provided by publisher.
