Models of Spatial Processes - An Approach to the Study of Point, Line and Area Patterns

Klappentext This book approaches the study of patterns by emphasising the processes responsible for them. Zusammenfassung This book approaches the study of patterns by emphasising the processes responsible for them; it emphasises the logical format of process-to-pattern rather than the more wasteful pattern-to-process approach. The concern is primarily with two-dimensional surfaces! which is the way most maps are used for analysis. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. An Introduction to spatial processes; 2.
