This is a practical, hands-on tutorial that teaches you all about Geospatial analysis in Python

Description

Geospatial analysis is used in almost every field you can think of from medicine, to defense, to farming. It is an approach to use statistical analysis and other informational engineering to data which has a geographical or geospatial aspect. And this typically involves applications capable of geospatial display and processing to get a compiled and useful data. "Learning Geospatial Analysis with Python" uses the expressive and powerful Python programming language to guide you through geographic information systems, remote sensing, topography, and more. It explains how to use a framework in order to approach Geospatial analysis effectively, but on your own terms. "Learning Geospatial Analysis with Python" starts with a background of the field, a survey of the techniques and technology used, and then splits the field into its component speciality areas: GIS, remote sensing, elevation data, advanced modelling, and real-time data. This book will teach you everything there is to know, from using a particular software package or API to using generic algorithms that can be applied to Geospatial analysis. This book focuses on pure Python whenever possible to minimize compiling platform-dependent binaries, so that you don't become bogged down in just getting ready to do analysis. "Learning Geospatial Analysis with Python" will round out your technical library with handy recipes and a good understanding of a field that supplements many a modern day human endeavors.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I'd like to start this review by addressing a few quick questions before I add my own thoughts.First, who would be interested in this book?Really, anyone who has ever had an interest in simply learning what Geospatial Analysis is will benefit from this book, the first chapters go through an excellent introduction into what the field of Geospatial Analysis even is and the topics that cover its range, such as Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing. That being said, once you get into the specific topics the focus really shifts to using Python to implement examples of these topics, and an individual who is completely unfamiliar with Python wouldn't benefit as much as someone who has a fairly good Python or programming background. Nevertheless eve if you never ran a single line of code, simply reading the book from front to back should give the reader a good foundation on what Geospatial Analysis is and how it is performed.Second, I'd like to discuss if the book covers what it says it does in its description:The description states it will offer a background in Geosptial Analysis, which it does a great job of in the beginning chapters. Before even jumping into the many Python modules you'll use, readers will gain an understanding of the topic they'll be learning.The second big statement is that the book will teach you how do use Python to implement Geospatial Analysis, and I was pleasantly surprised that the author really strives to keep everything running in pure Python modules whenever possible. The most you'll stray from running pure Python modules is in the use of some file viewers. Another great addition is that the author really pushes the use of open source libraries, throughout the book I never felt like I needed to purchase any of the more intense Geographic Information System software packages that are on the market. I really felt like all I needed was my Python interpreter and an internet connection.The next aspect that I found most enjoyable was that I simply liked reading the book. I initially sat down and just read the book from front to back, without following the code tutorials. I really enjoyed this approach because after I had read through, I simply went back and followed the tutorials that I found to be the most interesting to get a better understanding of how they were used. Another thing I highly enjoyed was seeing the use of some Python packages I have seen used in so many other scientific realms, most notably NumPy, as well as some modules that I'd never seen before, most of which are directly related to Geospatial Analysis.The thing I learned the most from reading this book is that Geospatial Analysis is all about the data, and there is an extremely broad amount of data and data formats that can be used. A large portion of the text will cover what this data is, how it is used, and ways you can use Python to extract, alter, and use this data in creating some pretty cool Geospatial models. Even the very first map you draw depends on using this data. Thankfully you won't have to go searching for this, as the book provides plenty of data files for download.Overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone that has a love of Python and has a real interest in getting a starting background in understanding Geospatial Analysis. I would offer a slight recommendation for those users that are simply looking for a text book about Geospatial Analysis, as the real fun of the book comes from seeing the models and images being manipulated from the solid set of functions that the author gives you in Python. It is obvious that the author cares a great deal about the topic, and the enthusiasm is a definite benefit to the flow of the book. A fun, good read in my opinion as someone who initially knew very little about the topic.

This book is sooooo useful for anybody who works with GIS! I used ideas from this book and was able to do projects with PURE Python, and not a single line of ArcPy !!!!

moria2 Jan 03, 2015

great book for those who know GIS and are interested in Python

Mohammed Dec 26, 2023

Great Book overall. the only problem I have is the data sources. all dataset links are not working. I will diffidently recommend it to my friends.
