Statistical Methods for Geography: A Students Guide

"The First Edition of Statistical Methods for Geography provided an excellent introduction to the statistical analysis of spatial data. The second edition is even better - providing more material on probability and on descriptive statistics as well as more exercises. I would recommend this strongly as a text for introductory statistics courses in geography. It is currently the best on the market by far."
- A. Stewart Fotheringham, National University of Ireland, Maynooth

The Second Edition of this bestselling text has been completely revised and updated. It provides a systematic introduction to the principal methods and techniques that students must understand to complete a statistics course.

Features new to this edition include:

• More introductory material especially in a new chapter on descriptive statistics, and much-expanded introductory chapters
• More exercises and illustrative examples within the chapters
• SPSS for Windows and EXCEL used to illustrate the applied use of the methods
• A companion Web site for lecturers and students is available at www.sagepub.co.uk/rogerson. The password-protected lecturer section contains answers to questions from the book. There are also downloadable-datasets and study skills for students.
