Abstract: Abstract This article presents a collection of regional science books that longstanding members of the Regional Science Association International (RS AI) identified as path-breaking books. The most frequently nominated books include the “classics” by Isard, the seminal books in urban economics by Alonso, Muth and Mills, methods books by Miernyk, Wilson, Anselin, and Cliff and Ord, textbooks by Beckmann and Richardson, as well as the recent contribution by Fujita, Krugman and Venables. Reviews of these books, written by leading scholars from different continents, make up the major contribution of this article and are a testimony to the far-reaching influence of regional science in the academic literature.
