Beschreibung
Exploring Spatial Scale in Geography provides a conceptualand practical guide to issues of spatial scale in all areas of thephysical and social sciences. Scale is at the heart ofgeography and other spatial sciences. Whether dealing withgeomorphological processes, population movements or meteorology, aconsideration of spatial scale is vital.
Exploring Spatial Scale in Geography takes a practicalapproach with a core focus on real world problems and potentialsolutions. Links are made to appropriate software environments withan associated website providing access to guidance material whichoutlines how particular problems can be approached using popularGIS and spatial data analysis software.
This book offers alternative definitions of spatial scale,presents approaches for exploring spatial scale and makes use of awide variety of case studies in the physical and social sciences todemonstrate key concepts, making it a key resource for anyone whomakes use of geographical information.

"The type of reader who would likely gain from the book is from the last group, the researcher seeking an annotated bibliography. Each chapter ends with suggestions for further reading. Extensive references are cited at the back of eachchapter rather than at the end of the book. The index is quite valuable and was accurate for all the terms I checked."

"This book provides a systematic and comprehensive account of the many spatial analytic methods useful for understanding the implications of spatial scale for geographical data. The author effectively and concisely covers a wide range of methods, using a variety of different data sets and examples."
