This second edition covers all main topics of spatial economics,
plant location, and the theory of nested market areas. The book
starts from the classical models of the space economy which are
stated in terms of precise mathematical models. Especially, the
book offers a lavish supply of computer graphics to make the
results easily understandable.
Extracts from reviews to the first edition:
"This book is an excellent introduction to the theory of
continuous location of economic activities in two-dimensional space
based on differential equations and to their solution by vector
calculus methods.
As Puu states "good science is to be easily understood. This
book is, indeed, a lucid and easily readable introduction to the
fundamental concepts of spatial economic theory and the
differential calculus machinery of the continuous transportation
model."
K. C. Mosler in "Location Science"
"This book represents an honest attempt at introducing spatial
economic theory. The author does not appear to be interested in
showing off his obvious mathematical skills. His intention is to
summarize the accumulated knowledge in the field and present the
main results in a simple manner. He does an admirable job. Of help
are the high-quality graphics, the omission of semicooked ideas and
messy results, and the author's extensive experience on the subject
over a long period of time."
P. S. Kanaroglou in "Environment and Planning"
