. CD ONLY. BOOK NOT INCLUDED.

The CD-ROM contains three examples described in chapter 7 of the book (
BOOK NOT INCLUDED.).

7.2 Studying historical transport networks

The data is stored in shape files (Examples/Transport) which may be opened by ArcView or ArcExplorer. Furthermore many GIS packages allow the import of shape files. In the "Tools" directory of this CD-ROM you will find a free copy of the ArcExplorer software (Windows only).

7.5 Predicting wildfires

A presentation containing the data may be found in the "Examples/Forest" folder.

7.6 Mapping urban growth

The data is stored in shape files (Examples/Urban) which may be opened by ArcView or ArcExplorer. Furthermore many GIS packages allow the import of shape files. In the "Tools" directory of this CD-ROM you will find a free copy of the ArcExplorer software (Windows only).

The collection of historical data is in general a complex and demanding task. Historical data is commonly collected and processed for a certain purpose. The logical structure in which the data is stored is selected according to the given research question. Therefore historical data can be arranged to build time series for a distinct areal unit representing one or more variables, or to build a time slice for several areal units representing again one or more variables.

In this case, the question, objective or structure of the data will define the structure of the spread sheet or data base, according to which the sources are evaluated and the data are stored. For the collection of historical data within a spatio-temporal GIS approach it is often not possible to define a suitable structure of a spreadsheet or table right from the beginning. The reprocessing and transformation of large data sets later on is on the other hand time consuming and may cause errors. The historical data collector is a convenient tool for the collection and processing of historical data from heterogeneous or incomplete sources with heterogeneous administrative units, valid dates or variables covered.

In order to use the historical data collector you need Microsoft Access 97 or higher. To add new data choose the forms section of the main window. Several forms are provided to enter data (see figures 1 to 5):

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
