The ERSA conference (August 2014) in Saint Petersburg was another highlight in the rich history of RSAI. This venue featured also the baptizing of a new book on ‘Regional Science Matters’, devoted to commemorate the seminal scientific contributions of the late Walter Isard to regional science. The editors (Adam Rose, Peter Nijkamp and Karima Kourtit) brought together in this volume a series of original studies of various scholars all over the world, whose work has been decisively influenced by Walter Isard. The volume contains also an article by Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman. For more details see:
