R-Trees: Theory and Applications

From the reviews:

"The book contains nine chapters (divided into four parts), an epilogue, a reference section, and an index, in addition to the preface and list of figures and tables. … The book is written in a very informal and user-friendly manner with lots of examples, illustrations, and tables. The authors have succeeded in making this book very accessible, understandable, and readable. This book will be invaluable to professionals, researchers, teachers, and students who deal with spatial data management systems and their access methods."
