 <title>A Practical Guide to Geostatistical Mapping</title>
 <link>http://book.spatial-analyst.net</link>
 <description>Geostatistical mapping can be defined as analytical production of maps by using field observations, auxiliary information and a computer program that generates predictions. The purpose of this guide is to assist you in producing quality maps by using fully-operational open source software packages: R+gstat/geoR and SAGA GIS. Materials presented in this book have been used for the five-day advanced training course &quot;GEOSTAT: spatio-temporal data analysis with R+SAGA+Google Earth&quot; that is periodically organized by the author and collaborators. This is an open access publication!</description>

 <title>Spatial statistics conference 2011</title>
 <link>http://book.spatial-analyst.net/spatstat2011</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Next year a large international conference on spatial statistics will be held in Enschede, the Netherlands. For more info see: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spatialstatisticsconference.com&quot;&gt;www.spatialstatisticsconference.com&lt;/a&gt;; I have been &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spatialstatisticsconference.com/bio_hengl.asp&quot;&gt;invited&lt;/a&gt;, together with a number of other open source enthusiasts, to talk about possibilities of combining statistics and geographical computing. Down-below is a short summary of my lecture.&lt;/p&gt;
