Description: "Geographic information system (GIS) software is a powerful tool for teaching and learning, one that enriches traditional classrooms in a surprising number of subjects. In Understanding Place: GIS and Mapping across the Curriculum, edited by Diana Stuart Sinton and Jennifer J. Lund, educators describe GIS-based teaching, learning, analysis, and research across the range of a liberal arts and sciences curriculum. Their stories show GIS in the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts and humanities, including archaeology, anthropology, biology, geology, history, musicology, political science, religion, and sociology. Outside the traditional classroom, GIS can help build campus-community collaborations"--Page [4] of cover.
