Geocomputation with R (Chapman & Hall/CRC The R Series)

Geocomputation with R is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to learn spatial analysis techniques with R. The book is written in a very approachable manner that is sure to satisfy R beginners but provides best practices, examples, online resources, and further extensions that allow more advanced users to delve deeper. From working with spatial datasets, to formatting maps, to creating interactive/animated visuals, Geocomputation with R provides a solid foundation on which to build up spatial analysis and presentation skills. As a fairly new R user who previously only used GIS for spatial analysis, I can credit this book with making the switch to a (nearly) fully R workflow much simpler than it could have been. Highly recommended!
