Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great text and even better software modules
This is an excellent book if interested in performing spatial analysis with ArcView (or any other GIS software I'd guess although the accompanying scripts would be less useful).
Comprehensive and easy - "easy" - to understand. As well, the tools developed by the authors are extremely efficient for many spatial statistical purposes, particularly if still employing ArcView 3.x.
Rating:  - BOOK UNUSABLE WITH CURRENT ARCGIS SOFTWARE
EXAMPLES ONLY WORK WITH OUTDATED SOFTWARE ARCVIEW 3.3!
Although this book purports to be 'updated' from the earlier edition, the Avenue script 'extensions' and examples in the book and on the accompanying CD only work with ESRI's outdated ArcView3.x, which has been moved to 'Mature Support' status by ESRI. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! There is an 11 page appendix that discusses statistical tools in ESRI's current ArcGIS 9.2. These 11 pages in the 441 page book discuss current technology. I feel like ...

Rating: - Hard to follow and use
Even though the book has 2005 copyright, all the examples and data relate to Arcview 3.X. None of the extensions can be used in ArcView 9.0. Without the extensions, it is really, really hard to follow the examples. The book acknowledges that version 9.0 has some statistical items in the ArcView toolbox, but it pretty well stops there. There are two web sites listed in the book to contact for updated information, but one doesn't work at all and the other doesn't show anything regarding software updates. ... Read More
Rating: - Clearly written with numerous examples and useful ArcView extension tools for statistical analysis on the included CD.
I used this book for a graduate level course in geospatial statistics. The book is very clearly written and provides just enough background material to enable someone who has not had a statistics course in a while to still understand how statistical analysis of geographic information varies from classical statistics, and then apply the methods to their own geographic data (point, line or polygon). The book covers how to measure dispersion, perform hypothesis testing of point or quadrat distributions and ... Read More
