As the tools available through commercial GIS software have grown in sophistication, a need has emerged to instruct users on the best practices of true GIS analysis. In this sequel to the bestselling The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis , author Andy Mitchell delves into the more advanced realm of spatial measurements and statistics. The premise of The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2 , targets GIS technology as having been well used as a display and visualization medium but not so widely used as an implement for real analysis. Covering topics that range from identifying patterns and clusters, to analyzing geographic relationships, this book is a valuable resource for GIS users performing complex analysis.

Covers statistics from a spatial perspective well. I would have preferred it included data and exercises to practice and visualize what we were learning, but the abundant images helped with visualization a lot. Definitely suggest for those learned spatial analysis and statistics.

So much to learn in regards to Wildlife Action Plans, I have encountered some very good statistics concepts and also learned a bit more about using GIS to represent statistical data. This is a great book and Andy Mitchell's writing is succinct. clear Illustrations.
