Selected Books

  • Geographical Information Systems and Science (Third Edition: 2010) (Paul A. Longley, Michael F. Goodchild, David J. Maguire, and David W. Rhind). The Third Edition of this bestselling textbook has been fully revised and updated to include the latest developments in the field and still retains its accessible format to appeal to a broad range of students. Now divided into five clear sections the book investigates the unique, complex and difficult problems that are posed by geographic information and together they build into a holistic understanding of the key principles of GIS.

  • Geospatial Analysis: a Comprehensive Guide to Principles, Techniques and Software Tools. (M J de Smith, M F Goodchild, P A Longley). The three editions of this book (published in 2007, 2008 and 2009 by Troubador, Leicester, UK) are hard copy versions of an extensive and detailed technical website, www.spatialanalysisonline.com.  "Geospatial Analysis" by de Smith, Goodchild and Longley
    addresses the full spectrum of analytical techniques that are provided within modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related geospatial software products. It is broad in its treatment of concepts and methods and representative in terms of the software that people actually use.
