\ From the Publisher"The overall result is a book that should be well received and prove highly useful to its target audience of graduate students and researchers in ecology, both as an introductory course text in spatial analysis and also for subsequent reference." \ Trevor Bailey, Biometrics\ "Spatial Analysis is a guide, not a recipe book. In today's quest for ecological understanding of spatial patterns, recipes of methods clutter bookshelves, and an important guide like this one is much in need. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in spatial analysis in ecology and environmental sciences."\ Jianguo Wu, BioScience\ \ \
