GIS For Biologists: A Practical Introduction For
Undergraduates
By Colin D. MacLeod
This book
provides a brief, and easy to understand, introduction to using GIS in
all aspects of biological research, as well as providing six exercises
from a variety of biological fields which you can work through to
develop your biological GIS skills.
The
instructions for the practical exercises in this book are provided for
both ArcGIS (the leading commercial GIS software package) and QGIS (the
leading free, open-source GIS software package).
This book is
best suited to those who are relatively new to GIS and who wish to
develop a good basic foundation. It is also the book that we recommend
to those who wish to teach GIS to biologists and who are looking for a
basic biological GIS textbook. |
