Reviews
The strongest feature of these guides are the databases creates for analysis. There are some excellent data here, and it is well organized into ArcView files., The data sets are very rich and well done. The strong connection between science and humanity is important for university students to appreciate--and is clear in these materials., UNIT 1: SEARCHING FOR EVIDENCE. Investigating a changing Earth. Investigating Earth¿s clues. Discovering plate tectonics. Analyzing plate boundaries. UNIT 2: EXPLORING PLATE TECTONICS. Testing plate tectonics. Investigating seafloor age. Determining seafloor age. Investigating plate motion. UNIT 3: EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS. The Great Lisbon Earthquake. Deadly earthquakes. Seismic hazards. Seismic risk and society. UNIT 4: VOLCANO HAZARDS. The tragedy of Mont Pelée. Deadly volcanoes. Volcanic hazards. Volcanoes and climate. UNIT 5: TSUNAMI HAZARDS. Scotch Cap Light Station. Deadly tsunamis. Anatomy of a tsunami. Tsunami warning.

Synopsis
The popularity of geographic information system (GIS) software as a tool in the social and physical sciences is growing rapidly. These three modular investigation guides let even novice users tap the power of ArcView GIS to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. Carefully designed and class tested, the guides emphasize the visualization, analysis, and multimedia integration capabilities inherent to GIS, while minimizing the need to master a complex software package. Exploring Water Resources make the nuts and bolts of using ArcView GIS transparent to your students. By focusing on teaching with GIS rather than teaching about it, you can incorporate GIS easily into homework, discussions, or lab sessions. This flexible teaching resource motivates and enables your students to "learn by doing" as they use a full complement of GIS capabilities. EXPLORING THE DYNAMIC EARTH: GIS INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE EARTH SCIENCES complements any introductory course in meteorology, oceanography, physical geography, natural hazards, Earth sciences, atmospheric science, and Earth systems science. The guide leads students through a set of exercises in which they are asked to explore, analyze, and then elaborate on the information extracted from a robust GIS dataset using ArcView, the dominant GIS software tool in the school and college market. The GIS information has been preprocessed into maps and legends, and some ArcView procedures have been automated so students can focus on the science content. Extensive classroom testing at both the college and high school levels shows that students have little difficulty using the ArcView data sets to perform the exercises., These modules are designed with step-by-step directions to let even novice users utilize the power of the ArcView GIS application to explore, manipulate, and analyze large data sets. Each new copy contains a CD with unlimited access to the SAGUARO projects and data as well as a 120-day time-locked dual-platform version of the ArcView software. (Site license users of ArcGIS software can order the guides without the CD.) The manuals can be purchased alone, bundled together, and/or bundled with The Changing Earth., The popularity of geographic information system (GIS) software as a tool in the social and physical sciences is growing rapidly.
