From the Back Cover

Census Users’ Handbook Edited by Stan Openshaw The collection of census data has advanced considerably during the last decade. The rapid development of GIS and other analysis systems has greatly facilitated accessing, manipulating and using this data. The Census Users’ Handbook is the essential reference book for all users of the United Kingdom 1991 census. It guides the reader in using, manipulating, mapping and analysing the data, helping to provide and develop a better understanding of how to perform census analysis, and reviews some of the state–of–the–art methods. Each chapter is written by a leading authority in the field and discusses a specific aspect of the census. Features:

provides a clear and authoritative overview of the 1991 UK census results
analyses the census using standard statistical packages
methods of mapping and visualising census results
includes examples of neurocomputing
reviews census applications and the future of the census itself

The Census Users’ Handbook is an invaluable resource for researchers, government departments, commercial resellers, marketeers, data and commercial organisations using census data or wishing to analyse it. It is also an essential resource for students of GIS, geography and social sciences.
