Geospatial Analysis: Web site, PDF and Book
The comprehensive independent guide to principles, techniques & software tools
Authored by: Dr M J de Smith, Prof M F Goodchild, Prof P A Longley

"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 particularly like how you used your tables to explain and display information and how you followed your equations with figures of what the equation would look like. Your book is the only one I have found that has a Figure representing the 6 univariate kernel density functions, unit bandwidth. If you haven't yet surmised my mathematical education was a long time ago and when you say "quartic" and "exponential" the picture of those two graphs does not immediately jump into view from the recesses of my mind. I find the book indispensable."
William Meyer (Bill), Natural Resource Specialist/GIS, ERDC/CERL, USA

"Christmas has arrived early this year! When I went into the Department this morning I found a copy of your splendid new 'Geospatial Analysis' in my pigeon hole!  It looks a magnificent handbook for all those working in this field: how I wish I'd had something like this to hand when I was struggling with 'Locational analysis...' more than forty years ago."
Emeritus Prof Peter Haggett,University of Bristol ,UK

"Your wonderful website was announced on the email groupopenspace@sal.uiuc.edu, which I read at work at the Census Bureau. I enjoy keeping up with geographic research techniques, even when I don't have occasion to use them often at work."
Charles Dingman , USCensus,USA

"I have studied your book in great detail and have decided to convert one of my regular taught MSc modules so as to map onto it direct [to be renamed "Geospatial Analysis"]. I would be interested in obtaining multiple copies of the book in digital format for next year's MSc intake of around 25-30."
Dr Bob Abrahart, University of Nottingham, UK

"Congratulations. This is a wonderful effort."
Prof Solly Angel, New York University , USA

"This is a wonderful book for advanced users. I found the Chapter 2 Conceptual Framework very helpful in my own research."
Prof R LeGates, Professor of Urban Studies, San Francisco State University

"An excellent book that addresses many of the questions raised by students and lecturers about spatial analysis in one location with a range of delivery that suits all pockets, from the e-book, to hopefully a hardback colour version for library use. A good range of links and good example data sets used to explain the concepts. I am sure the additional changes you suggest will make the next version of greater use across a broader range of applications"
Dr Andrew Skellern, GIS Course Director, Bath Spa University, UK

"Thank you for sending me valuable info. This site is wonderful!!"
Prof Atsu Okabe , Department of Urban Engineering, University of Tokyo and Director, Center for Spatial Information Science, University of Tokyo, Japan

"Congratulations on the publication of Geospatial Analysis which I am looking forward to reading and using. I offer four undergraduate and four postgraduate GIS modules at UCD. I look forward to integrating your new book in these modules."
Dr. Mairtin Mac Siurtain ,School of Biology and Environmental Science College of Life Sciences, University College Dublin, Ireland

"What I have read about 'Geospatial Analysis - A Comprehensive Guide to Principles, Techniques and Software Tools' sound very promising. I would like to use it partially in a GIS course I am teaching next semester."
Dr Florian Probst , Institute for Geoinformatics , University of Munster, Germany(multiple printed copies and PDF versions now ordered and supplied)

"I am asking my secretary to order a print copy and look forward to both it and the PDF version. I also will explore with you options for using the text in an academic setting ... I think it would fit well with my "Geospatial Data Processing Techniques in Natural Resources Management."
Prof Daniel Civco , Professor of Geomatics and Director Natural Resources Management and Engineering Center for Land use Education and Research, University of Connecticut, USA

"The first edition of 'Geospatial Analysis: A comprehensive guide to principles, techniques, and software tools' was a landmark publication in GIScience. The second edition with updated sections and new additions tied to the UCGIS Body of Knowledge is expected to make a cannonball-size splash in the geospatial literature pool. Web and e-book versions should be well-received and increase the availability of this important volume. The first edition was found on every library shelf, but the second edition will find its way to millions of desktops, laptops and handhelds. "
Prof Marguerite Madden, Director, Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science (CRMS), University of Georgia
