ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop products-ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo-enable users to create and manage a geodatabase, the world's most advanced spatial object-oriented data model. ArcView enables users to create and manage simple features (points, lines, and polygons) in a personal geodatabase. ArcEditor and ArcInfo support full read-and-write access to any geodatabase. The key advantage of this data model is that it allows you to easily build intelligent models of spatial systems. You can assign behaviors to individual features, define relationships between classes of features, create business rules, and apply high-level topological models without any programming. You are also free to extend the geodatabase model and object behaviors without limits by using any Component Object Model (COM)-compliant programming language. Building a Geodatabase introduces you to geodatabase concepts and shows you how to implement geographic database designs. Whether you are importing existing data or building a new geodatabase from scratch, this book makes it easy to find a task and work through the steps to get it done. You'll learn how to Migrate existing geographic data into a geodatabase Create new feature classes, feature data sets, and tables Add behavior to your features by creating subtypes and validation rules Create relationships between objects in your geodatabase by creating relationship classes and geometric networks Design your geodatabase using Unified Modeling Language and create your geodatabase schema using Computer-Aided Software Engineering tools Create new features and edit existing features with behaviors Create and edit dimension features to annotate your maps and drawings Work with a versioned geodatabase Begin by following the quick-start tutorial to get an overview of how to create and edit a geodatabase, and then actually create your first geodatabase. If you prefer, jump right in and experiment with geodatabases on your own. When you have questions, you'll find concise, step-by-step answers inside, fully illustrated to help you complete a task.

Women and GIS, Volume 2: Stars of Spatial Science (Women and GIS, 2)

Impressive stories of women using geospatial technology to create sustainable solutions for problems the world faces. 
The third volume in the Women and GIS series shows how 31 diverse women in various STEAM fields discovered their passion, broke down barriers, and used maps, analysis, imagery, and geographic information systems (GIS) to advance their fields and improve the world. Sharing their experiences from childhood and throughout their careers, each woman reveals her journey in an inspiring recollection of the obstacles she has overcome, the knowledge she has gained along the way, and how tenacity and determination have helped her succeed. Each woman shares tips and words of wisdom that she's gained along the way, including: \nPriscilla Mbama Abasi: “Think big! Think about going to space, think about building things no one has seen before.” 
Arianna Armelli: “If you are like me and crave the freedom to explore a path of the unknown, aka entrepreneurship, a career in STEM will foster the technical foundation to achieve those goals.” 
Gabi Fleury: “The best advice I was given starting out was ‘forge your own path.’ Conservation isn’t a structured, straight-line career, you can get into it in many ways. This is exciting, but it also can be really challenging, because you have to be flexible, innovative, and always on the lookout for the next opportunity.” 
Healy Hamilton: “Success, to me, is a daily feeling that you are living true to your values, that you are meaningfully contributing to the world you want to create.” 
Katharine Hayhoe: “While it’s important to have people you respect and trust give you feedback at key points in your career, when it all comes down to it, you have to make the decisions that feel right for you, not the ones that necessarily look best on paper. You’re the one who has to live with them.” \nFeaturing strong, persevering women from around the globe, the stories found in Women and GIS, Volume 3: Champions of a Sustainable World will inspire readers who are developing their own life stories to strive for success and achieve amazing accomplishments.\nFrom the Back Cover\nImpressive stories of women in STEAM creating sustainable solutions for problems the world faces.

With Geographic Information System (GIS) software it is now possible to produce maps of a complexity, utility, and beauty beyond the vision and dreams of mapmakers only a few years ago. Here is a collection of the most impressive and innovative maps produced with this technology in the last year. A few examples of the maps that are included are: Storm Surge Locations for Hurricane Landfalls in Georgia; Virtual Reality Models of Lower Manhattan; Election Results in Russia; The Natural History of IceLand; and Common Snapping Turtle Telemetry Points in Wisconsin. Along with each map there is a description of the problem solved by the mapmaker, and the software, hardware, and data sources employed. This book is the most compelling demonstration of the range and analytical power of GIS mapmaking technology.
