ABOUT THE CD-ROM.
Jay Lee, PhD, is Professor and Chair of the Department of Geography at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio.
* Comes with ArcView Avenue scripts and data sets so students can implement the examples in the book to help them further understand the concepts being taught
* Book and software are able to stand-alone as self-directed lab exercises
* Scripts are compatible with user-created data sets so they have a useful life after the user is done with the exercises in the book
* Completely updated with new examples and exercises, and features a new chapter on polygon pattern analyzers
* Expanded coverage includes new chapters on classic statistical methods
* CD includes the scripts that accompany the book as well as new instructor support material such as PowerPoint slides and structured labs built around the exercises in the book.
