Spatial Analysis: Modelling in a GIS Environment Edited by Paul Longley and Michael Batty Digital data and information are used increasingly by academics, professionals, local authorities, and government departments. Powerful new technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), are being developed to analyse such data, and GIS technologies are rapidly becoming part of the emergent world digital infrastructure. This book shows how computer methods of analysis and modelling, built around GIS, can be used to identify ways in which our cities and regions might be better planned and understood. The contributors to this book are all actively involved in research using geographic information systems. This book will be valuable reading for:
∗ Geographers, researchers, and regional analysts
∗ Population theorists and regional economists with interests in large–scale demographic and employment data
∗ Planners and policy–makers who wish to use GIS to improve their decision making
∗ Business analysts who wish to explore markets using the most recent advances in digital spatial data technology
∗ All those interested in geodemographics
Paul Longley is Professor of Geography at the Department of Geography, University of Bristol, United Kingdom. Michael Batty is Professor of Spatial Analysis and Planning at the University College London. United Kingdom.

Synopsis:

This text is principally concerned with spatial analysis, with emphasis on the integration of different spatial analysis functions within GIS. Contributors discuss developing advanced GIS functions in order to achieve the zenith in spatial analysis functions for problem-solving and forecasting. The book places great emphasis upon spatial analysis applications, with a direct focus on problem-solving in practical cases. The focus of all the models and applications in the book is spatial systems of particular relevance to human geographers and spatial policy analysts.

Store Description

Mail order dealer since 1986. I have about 95,000 books listed with ABE. Formerly I issued catalogs, primarily under three headings: Natural History; Travel, Exploration & Sporting; and Americana & the West. My mailing lists, however, were very small and specialized so I am enjoying the much larger audience that the Internet provides. Also, I have greatly expanded my holdings so they are no longer restricted to the three areas above.
