Geospatial Analysis (6th edition) provides a compehensive guide to concepts, methods and tools, with many examples being provided using a variety of software tools such as ArcGIS, Idrisi, Grass, Surfer and many others to clarify the concepts discussed. Topics covered in detail include:

• Geospatial analysis concepts
• Analytical methodologies and model building
• Core components of geospatial analysis, including distance and directional analysis, geometrical processing, map algebra, and grid models
• Exploratory Spatial and Spatio-temporal Data Analysis (ESDA, ESTDA) and spatial statistics, including spatial autocorrelation and spatial regression
• Surface analysis, including surface form and flow analysis, gridding and interpolation methods, and visibility analysis
• Network and locational analysis, including shortest path calculation, travelling salesman problems, facility location and arc routing
• Geocomputational methods, including agent-based modelling, artifical neural networks and evolutionary computing
• Big Data - lessons for researchers

In this work we examine two of the major contributors to energy consumption and global greenhouse gas emissions: transport and the built environment. In this connection our title, Towards Net Zero, embraces the efforts made by individuals, organizations, national governments and international agencies to reduce the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all sources, including transport and the built environment. These efforts to reduce GHG emissions are being combined with programs designed to offset residual emissions by absorption or 'capture' of carbon dioxide, in order to achieve a net zero or nearly net zero carbon emissions position.Towards Net Zero has been arranged into two distinct but closely related Books, each of which is preceded by brief Timeline diagrams: Book One is sub-titled A Geospatial and Historical Perspective: How Did We Get Here?. In Book Two, sub-titled An Economic and Environmental Perspective: Where are We Heading?, we take a look forward to the future of critical services and infrastructure.
