"Geospatial Analysis" by de Smith, Goodchild and Longley
addresses the full spectrum of analytical
techniques that are provided within modern Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and related geospatial software products. It is broad in its
treatment of concepts and methods and representative in terms of the
software that people actually use.
"Written in
an engaging and accessible manner, this book does a marvelous job of
balancing its coverage on principles, techniques, and software tools for
spatial analysis. ... It is truly a tour de force of geospatial analysis
and is likely to become a classic ...I would highly recommend this book to
anyone who is interested in learning about the latest developments in
geospatial analysis and modeling." Prof D
Z Sui, Review in: Annals, Association of American Geographers, April
2009
"A
superb resource for educators in GISc/spatial analysis. Many
congratulations!" Prof David Unwin, Emeritus Professor, University
of London, and World Universities Network
"I want to thank you and
your colleagues for producing a book with more detail than I have yet to
encounter in any Spatial Analysis reference. Especially, one that
incorporates so much information about what can be accomplished with the
vast array of software available to date. ... I find the book
indispensable" William Meyer, Natural Resource Specialist/GIS,
ERDC/CERL
