Table of Contents

This book explores the rapidly expanding applications of spatial analysis, GIS and remote sensing in the health sciences, and medical geography. For the practitioner or researcher this book is full of useful techniques if your work applies to environmental and public health, biostatistics, epidemiology, health services, medical geography, medical entomology and much more. This book in the Health Sciences is a springboard to extend existing uses-or create new ones-by highlighting practical applications without bogging you down in detailed technical data requirements and manipulations, software and hardware specifications, or the mathematics of geotechniques.

Editorial Reviews

Geographers and epidemiologists explain some of the ways geographical information systems can be applied in human and environmental health. Their topics include how spatial analysis can be used in medical geography, health services research, infectious disease, and a historical perspective on the development of remotely sensed data as applied to medical geography. The bibliography is extensive and topical. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
