| Summary: | "From the Ring of Fire to the Fertile Crescent, this book shows through its maps and stories how a growing GIS community is facing down humanity's big challenges. Central to the book is the geographic approach -- a way of solving problems that uses spatial location to perceive and understand patterns -- from wildlife migration and rising seas to urban planning and food production. Its message arises from a deep human sense of place and conviction that this collaborative approach can help us confront climate change, hunger, water scarcity, inequity, biodiversity loss, and issues large and small in our everyday lives" --Back cover. |
