Geospatial Analysis (6th edition) provides a compehensive guide to concepts, methods and tools, with many examples being provided using a variety of software tools such as ArcGIS, Idrisi, Grass, Surfer and many others to clarify the concepts discussed. Topics covered in detail include:

• Geospatial analysis concepts
• Analytical methodologies and model building
• Core components of geospatial analysis, including distance and directional analysis, geometrical processing, map algebra, and grid models
• Exploratory Spatial and Spatio-temporal Data Analysis (ESDA, ESTDA) and spatial statistics, including spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression
• Surface analysis, including surface form and flow analysis, gridding and interpolation methods, and visibility analysis
• Network and locational analysis, including shortest path calculation, travelling salesman problems, facility location and arc routing
• Geocomputational methods, including agent-based modelling, artifical neural networks and evolutionary computing
• Big Data - lessons for researchers

Review:

"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

"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
