E-grāmata: Handbook of Applied Spatial Analysis: Software Tools, Methods and Applications

From the reviews:

The Handbook of Applied Spatial Analysis provides an important summary of, and gateway into, the rapidly developing field of spatial analysis. It aims to provide both a useful guide for researchers at all levels in spatial analytic fields and a basis for more in-depth research. certainly fulfils the expectations set out in its blurb. It provides a thorough insight into contemporary spatial analysis that many with an interest in this field will find useful. (James Cheshire, Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, Vol. 37, 2010)

It provides a comprehensive introduction to a variety of problems and methods that may be beneficial to students and researchers who intend to learn and apply spatial analysis techniques in their studies and/or research. More importantly, the book provides valuable breadth and depth in its treatment of many topics. suitable for readers without substantial prior knowledge of spatial analysis. A book with such a combination of topics and qualities is a pleasant and valuable addition to the rich literature in this area. (Changshan Wu, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 52 (2), 2012)

The editors have done an excellent job to bring together conceptual knowledge and application pursuits while empowering readers with the information they need to find these resources and try some of the included techniques using the examples to guide them. The book will be attractive to higher level students and professionals . There are not many books as up-to-date with such a wide coverage of spatial analysis tools and techniques along with supporting resource information. (Jeff Thurston, Sensors & Systems, July, 2010)
