""I thus enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to anyone involved in spatial modelling as a time-effective introduction to the field, including a concern for practical implementation that may be lacking elsewhere and a good stylistic balance between background and technicalities, between bases and illustrations that make it a rather easy reading."" – Christian P. Robert, Université Paris, in Statistics in Medicine, 2006, Vol. 25
