"Each chapter contains a valuable list of literature, and the book ends with an exten-sive, 15-page index. This makes this textbook a valuable and useful companion for students of geoinformation, geoinformatics, geocompu-tation, and geoprocessing (GIScience), as well as for experienced scientists and professionals applying GIS." (Geologos, 2010)
"This book is quite extraordinary value providing a timely and extensive review of much of the discipline. Serious researchers and students alike should see it as an essential addition to their GIScience library." (Journal of Regional Science, May 2009)
"The topics covered are wide ranging, covering many aspects of GI science.... A good spread of authors from Europe, North America and Australia." (Reference Reviews, Issue 6 2008)
