With web GIS, you apply the\u00a0where<\/em>\u00a0factor to get deeper insight from your data.\r\n\r\n\"What is The Science of Where? Easily stated, it's the science of geography and the tech of GIS brought together\u2014computational geography,\" Esri president Jack Dangermond said earlier this year in introducing the concept. \"The Science of Where transforms the world by unlocking the full potential of data within organizations everywhere.\"\r\n\r\nNow available as an\u00a0interactive PDF<\/a>\u00a0[PDF]<\/span>\u00a0and online at\u00a0TheArcGISBook.com<\/a>\u00a0and as a print edition in August, the book explains how to use Esri's\u00a0ArcGIS platform<\/a>\u00a0to manage and analyze data and then visualize and share that information in maps to get valuable location-based insight. Chapters cover web mapping, ready-to-use apps, story maps, 3D GIS, spatial analysis, imagery, the Internet of Things (IoT), and curated content from the Living Atlas of the World. Thought leadership authors include Lawrie Jordan, Esri director of imagery and remote sensing<\/a>, and Richard Saul Wurman, the architect and graphic designer who founded the TED conference."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":61882,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"The ArcGIS Book<\/em>\u00a0isn't just something people read, however. It's something they do, too, with the companion website and interactive PDF providing 10\u00a0Learn ArcGIS<\/a>lessons and links to 250 online maps and apps from Esri and the worldwide ArcGIS user community, software downloads, videos, case studies, story maps, e-books, open data sites, the Living Atlas of the World, and many other electronic learning resources. Readers also have access to membership in the Learn ArcGIS Organization, a virtual GIS computer lab that includes the software and data required to complete the lessons.\r\n\r\n\"It's a multimedia experience,\" said Christian Harder, the writer at Esri who coedited the book with Clint Brown, Esri director of product engineering. \"Every graphic and image in the electronic versions of the book come to life in the interactive versions. This makes it an excellent starting point for people to learn about GIS or communicate to their friends and colleagues what GIS is all about.\""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":61902,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"You can, for example, click on one map to see how spatial analysis is used to study\u00a0traffic accidents<\/a>, or click on another one showing\u00a0drought conditions<\/a>\u00a0in the American Southwest. Or you can compare 3D development scenarios in urban areas such as\u00a0Portland, Oregon<\/a>, or learn how the Swiss actively\u00a0monitor dangerous avalanche conditions<\/a>. The Learn ArcGIS lessons correspond with the 10 big ideas about applying The Science of Where. You will learn cartographic design techniques, conduct a demographic analysis, create a 3D web scene, and more. The spatial analysis lesson walks you through how to use ArcGIS Pro, the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension, and Living Atlas of the World content to create a map of wildlife corridors for cougars trying to survive in the highly urbanized Los Angeles, California, area.\r\n\r\n\"Many of the lessons included in the book pull Living Atlas of the World data into the maps you create,\" Harder said. \"Many of the activities don't even require a login\u2014you just start clicking things, and they come to life as GIS apps.\"\r\n\r\nHarder said that the new edition of\u00a0The ArcGIS Book<\/em>\u00a0is geared toward three basic audiences: current ArcGIS users who want to do more work in the Web GIS realm by using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro; web-savvy professionals who work in fields such as business, education, and science and who are interested in analyzing and visualizing their work-related data geographically; and people who understand the importance of geography and might want to use web GIS for projects that matter to them personally."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":61922,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":61942,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\"If
