Placing History

Description

Over the past decade, historical GIS has emerged as a promising new methodology for studying history. In this companion to “”Past Time, Past Place””, editor Anne Kelly Knowles presents a collection of case studies that illustrate how GIS technology can help reorganize and reevaluate historical data. Complete with a digital supplement, edited by Amy Hillier, “”Placing History”” is the perfect tool for engaging a classroom of young historians by demonstrating how GIS can be used to awaken the past. “”Placing History”” includes a digital supplement CD containing ArcExplorer – Java Edition for Education software, map layers, PowerPoint presentations, informational videos, and notes. The CD can be used as an instructor resource for classroom instruction.
