great Book

this is vol 2 that goes with the Tutuorial Vol 2 book - well written and VERY understandable!

Great companion textbook

Spatial statistics can be a very cumbersome topic, but Mitchell goes through it in a good, linear fashion. I don't need to know the mathematics behind the statistical methods (although he provides them) I instead want to know when and how the tools are applied. Even though this is an ESRI book, several of the topics he discusses are actually not available in ArcGIS. It also falls short of showing how to run any particular software package, but that makes it more universal for study with other software. A great addition would be a tutorial workbook covering these topics.
