We invite you to browse and explore the Web Book of Regional Science. These materials, which are used worldwide by teachers and professionals alike, cover a wide range of regional science topics. You may find them useful as references, or as texts and supplemental information in the classroom.
Latest Editions:
We have included another classic to our Web Book of Regional Science. The 1975 West Virginia Input-Output Study has been added to the list.
Also, through the cooperation of Sage Scientific Geography Series Editor Grant Ian Thrall and the Series authors, now included in our Web Book titles is the entire ten-volume Scientific Geography Series.
We hope you find these once hard to find materials useful as references and in the classroom. Many remain among the very best and most useful references on their respective topics.
And for those of you who haven’t heard, we also now include William H. Miernyk’s classic, The Elements of Input-Output.
If you find these and our other titles important and valuable to your own instruction and research activities, we’d love to hear from you! Let us know how you use the Web Book of Regional Science, which books you use most, and any other comments you might offer, including other out-of print classics you’d like to see on the site.
