About this book
Reviews
“The content of this collection of papers deals with defining the appropriate spatial scale in a regional analysis, as the title of this work suggests. … This book nicely provides an overview of the current state of affairs in regards to regional analysis. It showcases a good number of examples and data analyses. The infrastructure of the book makes it useful as a research resource.” (Technometrics, Vol. 56 (3), August, 2014)
