Recenzje

"A useful mix of classical and novel summaries covering the wide breadth of geocomputational issues. This updated version of the original volume based on the groundbreaking 1996 conference is a ‘must have’ for those in this field."
—A Stewart Fotherington, Director, Centre for Geoinformatics, University of St. Andrews

"… timely statement of the state-of-the-art of this flourishing field … The selection of chapter topics and authors has been done very well indeed. In a nutshell, this is the perfect new volume for the experienced researcher’s shelf and a ‘must have’ for post-graduates looking for a foothold."
—Brian Lees, University of NSW, Canberra

"I welcome this second edition of this seminal book on GeoComputation. … brings us right up-to-date and it is a must-have volume for all students and researchers interested in handling geographical data."
—P.M. Atkinson
