520 |a "This is a tutorial-style book that helps you to perform Geospatial and GIS analysis with Python and its tools/libraries. This book will first introduce various Python-related tools/packages in the initial chapters before moving towards practical usage, examples, and implementation in specialized kinds of Geospatial data analysis. This book is for anyone who wants to understand digital mapping and analysis and who uses Python or another scripting language for automation or crunching data manually. This book primarily targets Python developers, researchers, and analysts who want to perform Geospatial, modeling, and GIS analysis with Python."--Provided by publisher
