In this second edition of The ArcGIS Book: 10 Big Ideas about Applying Geography to Your World, each big idea in the title is a chapter in the book about the ways that GIS technology can unlock your data to reveal deeper insights and a better understanding of virtually any problem with a geographic dimension.

By the end, you’ll be able to say you mapped the demographics of Detroit, created a historical Story Map, modeled the habitat of mountain lions in Los Angeles County, created an underwater 3D scene off the Florida coast, and much more.
