This unique work introduces the basic principles of artificialintelligence with applications in geographical teaching andresearch, GIS, and planning. Written in an accessible,non-technical and witty style, this book marks the beginning of theAl revolution in geography with major implications for teaching andresearch. The authors provide an easy to understand basicintroduction to Al relevant to geography. There are no specialmathematical and statistical skills needed, indeed these might wellbe a hindrance. Al is a different way of looking at the world andit requires a willingness to experiment, and readers who areunhindered by the baggage of obsolete technologies and outmodedphilosophies of science will probably do best. The text provides anintroduction to expert systems, neural nets, genetic algorithms,smart systems and artificial life and shows how they are likely totransform geographical enquiry.

* The first geographical book on artificial intelligence (Al)
* No need for previous mathematical or statisticalskills/knowledge
