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. The material is
organised into sections on process models responsible for point
patterns, for line patterns and then for area patterns. It
represents a synthesis of the work done on patterns in a number of
fields and a large literature is reviewed in the process of the
synthesis. In many respects this book represents a translation of
complex mathematical materials into a readable and relatively
simple verbal approach to the subject and thus brings the more
sophisticated aspects to a larger number of students than has been
done before. The reader need only have an elementary background in
statistics. The basic probability theory required by the text is
given in an appendix.
