‘A thought-provoking volume, condensing pressing and interesting issues in contemporary spatial analysis into one compact package, and, indeed, offering so much more than agenda setting: a bird’s eye perspective on key challenges in spatial analysis, a conversation starter, and a manifesto that will appeal to students, researchers, and practitioners, alike.’
