17.7.2024 20:47:28 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, today announced the publication next month of The Power of Where: A Geographic Approach to the World's Greatest Challenges.
Written by Esri president Jack Dangermond with a dedicated Esri team and numerous contributors, this important new book explores the geographic approach—a way of solving problems using spatial analysis to perceive and understand patterns ranging from wildlife migration and rising seas to urban planning and food production.
According to Dangermond, sustainability begins with geography. "I believed this when we started Esri, and I'm even more convinced today," says Dangermond. "GIS [geographic information system technology] provides a platform for addressing problems, exploring alternatives, designing solutions, and sharing them in a visual way that inspires action."
The Power of Where shows through maps and stories how the growing GIS community is facing humanity's big challenges, including climate change, hunger, water scarcity, inequity, and biodiversity loss, as well as issues large and small in our everyday lives.
In concluding the book's preface, Dangermond continues, "My hope is that the stories, maps, and examples in these pages will inspire you to embrace and use this geospatial power as we work together to create a better tomorrow."
The Power of Where includes a foreword by National Book Award winner and author James Fallows as well as a companion website, powerofwhere.com, with more about the case studies, stories, and maps presented in the book. Available in paperback (ISBN: 9781589486065, $59.99) and as an ebook (ISBN: 9781589486072, $59.99), The Power of Where becomes available from most online retailers worldwide on August 6. Interested retailers can contact Esri Press book distributor Ingram Publisher Services.
