As the tools available through commercial GIS software have grown in sophistication, a need has emerged to instruct users on the best practices of true GIS analysis. In this sequel to the bestselling The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, author Andy Mitchell delves into the more advanced realm of spatial measurements and statistics. The premise of The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2, targets GIS technology as having been well used as a display and visualization medium but not so widely used as an implement for real analysis. Covering topics that range from identifying patterns and clusters, to analyzing geographic relationships, this book is a valuable resource for GIS users performing complex analysis.

Arthur Kinnaird was the First Lord of Football, the most influential figure in England football in the Victorian era. He won the FA Cup five times, played for Scotland and - as Lord Kinnaird - was President of the Football Association for 33 years. His extraordinary life and his contribution to the formative years of football is told by sports historian Andy Mitchell. Kinnaird was an outstanding sportsman, who oversaw football's growth from its primitive and muddied beginnings in the 1860s through to the professional era of the 20th century when stadia were packed with thousands of fans. This book reveals his role in stories such as the birth of international football, the epic FA Cup victories with Wanderers and Old Etonians, his clashes with Darwen and Blackburn Rovers, and his selection to represent Scotland. This new edition updates and revises Arthur Kinnaird's biography which was first published in 2011. It contains new information and new images, bringing his story up to date. Andy Mitchell runs a sports history website and has written several books including First Elevens: the Birth of International Football and 1824, The World's First Foot-Ball Club. He has worked as a researcher for the FIFA World Football Museum, was a consultant to the Netflix mini-series 'The English Game' which dramatised Arthur Kinnaird's involvement in the FA Cup and football's transition from amateur pastime to professional sport.

This is the story of the world's very first club dedicated to football, founded in Scotland in 1824.Football was played from medieval times in schools and villages throughout Britain and took on many forms before the Victorians embarked on the process of codification. There were attempts in the 1840s to write down rules at Rugby School, Eton College and Cambridge University. When footballers got together they formed organisations and a club was founded at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1854, while Scotland's oldest is now the Academical Football Club in Edinburgh, established in 1857. Sheffield, also dating from 1857, makes a strong claim to be the oldest existing club now playing association football. Yet to find the world's first football club one has to go back to 1824, when an Edinburgh student called John Hope established what he simply called The Foot-Ball Club. No other contemporary football clubs are known to have existed, but this one thrived for almost 17 years, giving an outlet for organised football to a generation of young sportsmen. The club's extraordinarily detailed records have survived intact, including membership lists, accounts, letters and personal reminiscences. Many of these priceless items are reproduced in the book.Thanks to this unique archive, we know the names of almost 300 men who played for the club. The founding members might have been expected to leave football behind when they left school but by persisting with their juvenile activities and continuing to play this vigorous contact sport into adulthood, they were ahead of their time.The authors show in this book that the Foot-Ball Club fitted perfectly into the vibrant sporting culture which existed among a particular social class in Edinburgh. The city already had a wide range of clubs and societies devoted to physical exercise: Edinburgh sportsmen had already formed the world's first archery club, first golf club and first gymnastic club; they had written the first rules for golf, bowls and curling, and presented the first trophies for golf and bowls.The Foot-Ball Club continued in the same pioneering spirit, and the club's members went on to have an indelible influence on the ongoing development of football, in all its forms, far beyond their time and place. They had an impact on the game's future progress by passing on their enthusiasm and experiences to their sons, younger brothers and relatives.This is the story of how Edinburgh can lay claim to a number of football 'world firsts': the first club (1824), first written rules (1833), first medal (1851), first inter-school match (1858) and first organised games for girls (1861). There were Edinburgh-educated men at the founding meeting of the Football Association in 1863, and the city hosted the first rugby international match in 1871, in which the Scotland team was captained by the son of a Foot-Ball Club member. In writing the definitive history of the Foot-Ball Club, John Hutchinson and Andy Mitchell reveal who the club members were, how they played and what motivated them. They have uncovered a fascinating picture of sport and society in the city of Edinburgh, the people who lived in it and their social networks. They also tell the life story of the club's energetic founder, John Hope, who remained a passionate advocate of football throughout his long life, and was also a controversial character in other fields - philanthropy, education, religion, politics and temperance - which will resonate with historians of the period.

Whose wealth is it anyway? It's mine - All mine. What is? The clothes on my back before they go to the charity shop? My pay day loan or my lottery ticket ? The tins in the cupboard before they go to the food bank or after they have been to the food bank? Whose are the rent arrears and the UK Gross National Debt? In this provocative book Andy Mitchell surveys the scene in 'austerity' Britain through the words of the great first century activist and teacher - Jesus - while using British examples from newspaper and magazine articles from 2010 to 2015. -Poverty, partying, money and income and incentives are included. -Questions around tithing and taxation, charity and wealth creation, possessions and inheritance are studied. -'Are we all in this together?' How can I deal with having too much and how can I cope with having too little? Whose wealth is it anyway? Cover photo credit Claire Campbell Smith

"Clinical neuropsychologist, Andy Mitchell, takes ten different drugs in ten different settings, journeying from a neuroimaging lab in London to the Colombian Amazon via Silicon Valley to his friend's basement kitchen. His encounters with scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con men, psychonauts and shamans, and with the drugs themselves, reveal the reality of psychedelics in all their richness, darkness, wonder, and strangeness."--

The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 1 demonstrates how geographic analysis with GIS can identify patterns, relationships, and trends that lead to better decision making. Using examples from various industries, this book focuses on six of the most common geographic analysis tasks: mapping where things are, mapping the most and least, mapping density, finding what is inside, finding what is nearby, and mapping what has changed. Written for both new and experienced GIS users, this book builds a foundation of the basic tasks needed to handle a wide range of analysis applications.

The Esri Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 3: Modeling Suitability, Movement, and Interaction describes practical applications of modeling concepts in a geographic information system (GIS). This book shows readers how they can explore spatial interaction, site selection, routing, and scheduling, and explains how to best interpret the results of the analysis. With full-color maps and illustrations and sample applications, this book will help students studying GIS and professional GIS analysts better use models to evaluate locations and analyze movement.
