"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
This website/book/ebook 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.
"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
