Those who embrace a geographic approach to problem-solving can learn what’s happening on the ground from above and tie that in with what we know on the ground below. It’s changing the course of history.

This book is strikingly beautiful and timely. It helps us see the dawn of new technologies with enormous potential to address urgent problems around the world. Jack Dangermond and his colleagues give fascinating insider accounts of one of the most important, yet still least publicized, technological revolutions of our time.
James Fallows

The Power of Where is an essential read for understanding how geography drives solutions to our world’s biggest challenges. With compelling stories and mesmerizing maps, Dangermond explores the transformational power of GIS technology in everything from conservation to city planning. This book brilliantly illustrates why maps are indispensable for shaping a better future.

In my opinion, The Power of Where is now the definitive book on applied GIS technology—and is likely to remain so for years to come.
Gilbert Castle
GIS Consultant and Author
It really is an astounding achievement, in which one man (with help from his partner and a few friends) built a company and a community around an idea. It’s taken 50 years to migrate to the beautiful simplicity of one word, 'where,' which is really what it was all about from the start—the power of where and the science of where.
