Authors: Roger Palmer, Anita M. Palmer, Lyn Malone & Christine L. Voigt

The third volume in the Our World GIS Education series promotes inquiry-based learning in world geography and other disciplines through the use of GIS technology, which combines interactive mapping software and geographic data with students' natural curiosity about the world. Analyzing Our World Using GIS combines the open-ended exploration inherent in GIS with the structure of nationally standardised course content, classroom activities, teacher notes, student handouts, and assessments. GIS novices as well as experienced users will be able to conduct far-ranging geographic exploration with this book and supplemental materials including a resource CD and one-year trial of ArcGIS Desktop 9.2 software DVD.
