Reviews

"The volume continues to provide a valuable steer towards the use of spatial computational techniques to address problems in different social policy contexts and one that includes material that could easily form the basis of applied spatial statistics modules at range of learning levels." - Gary Higgs, University of South Wales, Pontypridd
