Teaching students both the theory and “how-to” of GIS using Arc GIS Pro
Shellito’s Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro provides students with hands-on work with GIS software, while explaining the “how” and “why” behind each application. Software changes quickly—the theory has a longer shelf life. The goal of Discovering GIS and ArcGIS Pro is to teach students how to combine GIS concepts with ArcGIS Pro software skills, preparing students for successful careers in the real world. Each chapter focuses on using a variety of ArcGIS tools in a real-world context. At the start of each chapter, a scenario puts the student in a particular role with a number of tasks to accomplish. Success Stories

Product Updates
- The book has been updated from the ground up using ArcGIS Pro rather than ArcMap, which was used in the prior editions. ArcGIS Pro is the new standard in desktop GIS from Esri, and the book has been updated to utilize it in each module.
- Modules 3 and 4, on making a map layout and publishing a web application, respectively, were remade to contain different types of approaches using ArcGIS Pro techniques. Notably, Modules 13, 16, and 18 were rewritten to utilize the new ArcGIS Pro approaches to remotely sensed imagery, animations, and 3D visualization.
- Many new and revised Smartboxes and Related Concepts sections are included throughout the text to address these concepts. New and revised Troubleboxes throughout the book address common questions related to ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.
