Conflict is everywhere-at work, at home, in our communities. Yet most people either avoid it entirely or let it escalate into something destructive. We've been conditioned to believe that mediating disputes is only for those who've undergone special training, leaving the rest of us feeling helpless when tensions rise around us.But what if you in fact already have everything you need to help others work through their differences?Daniel Griffith, a lawyer, trained mediator, a...

Spatial Autocorrelation: A Fundamental Property of Geospatial Phenomena offers a state-of-the-art exploration of one of the most pivotal spatial analysis concepts. Beginning with foundational theories and clear definitions, it sets out the concepts and basic theory of spatial autocorrelation through elaborated conceptualizations and practical examples. In-depth case studies reveal the pervasive influence of spatial patterns in scientific inquiry while anticipating emerging research and inn...

Spatial Regression Analysis Using Eigenvector Spatial Filtering provides theoretical foundations and guides practical implementation of the Moran eigenvector spatial filtering (MESF) technique. MESF is a novel and powerful spatial statistical methodology that allows spatial scientists to account for spatial autocorrelation in their georeferenced data analyses. Its appeal is in its simplicity, yet its implementation drawbacks include serious complexities associated with constructing an eige...
