This book is the third revised edition of the book Learning GIS in Practice - ArcGIS 10.5. The first edition, released in 2010, and the second edition, released in 2015, were both sold out, proving that this book is aimed at a wide scientific audience interested in the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and specifically in working with ArcGIS. It was effective and achieved its purpose.

The positive comments received for both previous editions, from both the academic community within the educational process and the field of studies and applied sciences, are evidence of its successful circulation.
