The work explains why spatial thinking matters as it helps readers to integrate a variety of methods to describe and analyze spatial\/temporal events and phenomena in disparate environmental contexts. It weaves together maps, GIS, timelines, and storytelling as important strategies in examining concepts and procedures in analyzing real-world data and relationships. The work thus adds significant value to qualitative and quantitative research in environmental (and related) sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by internationally renowned experts known for taking complex ideas and finding accessible ways to more broadly understand and communicate them. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes real-world studies explaining the merging of disparate data in a sensible manner, understandable across several disciplines.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnique approach to spatial thinking involving animated maps, 3D maps, GEOMATs, and story maps to integrate maps, archives, and timelines--first across a single environmental example and then through varied examples.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMerges spatial and temporal views on a broad range of environmental issues from traditional environmental topics to more unusual ones involving urban studies, medicine, municipal\/governmental application, and citizen-scientist topics. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides easy to follow step-by-step instructions to complete tasks; no prior experience in data processing is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Lach Arlinghaus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113863185X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138631854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Sandra Lach Arlinghaus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48742513082623,"sku":"9781138631854","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spatial-thinking-in-environmental-contexts-sandra-lach-arlinghaus-9781138631854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
