Review
Stewart Fotheringham
Director, National Centre for Geocomputation National University of Ireland Maynooth
It should be stated on the outset: this is an excellent textbook recommended for
all geographers, students and teachers alike. The book excels in many aspects: its
content is rich and well balanced, its clarity is superb, and it is replete with examples
and exercises. The book is user-friendly to students who are interested in understanding the application of statistical tests and in properly interpreting the results, rather than in delving in the mathematics involved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome text book!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a good statistics text book for geography students. It's well readable and combines basic statistics with some geo-spatial examples. This is the book that makes me fall in love with spatial statistics.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad book
Verified PurchaseI got this book for a class, it just has really poorly structured equation explanations. I needed up getting so confused by how the book was explaining thing that I search on google and got loads of good help for free. If you can.. Don't waste your money on this book.
