The Handbook of Spatial Statistics

amount of literature concerning location-allocation analysis in an excellent way, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. The fact that the book is published in the series Contributions to Management Science should thereby be seen as an enrichment rather than as a limitation and should prevent no geographer from reading it. It should not be ignored, however, that the book will certainly require a considerable degree of familiarity with mathematics; in particular linear programming and, to a lesser extent, calculus of two variables is needed. Thus, I would not recommend this volume to novices in the area of facility location; for them there are more suitable textbooks available. In my opinion, the bookmay rather serve as an ideal starting point for those who are already engaged in location-allocation analysis and who are interested in getting a first insight into one of the advanced topics addressed. In the end, one minor problem concerning the text should be mentioned. It is related to the numerous typographical errors, the errors in several mathematical formulations, and the English used by some of the contributing authors. It is to be hoped, however, that these shortcomings will be eliminated in the next edition.
