+    """Tools for Spatial Data
+
+    For curve, surface and function fitting with an emphasis; on splines,
+    spatial data, geostatistics,  and spatial statistics. The major methods;
+    include cubic, and thin plate splines, Kriging, and compactly supported;
+    covariance functions for large data sets. The splines and Kriging methods
+    are; supported by functions that can determine the smoothing parameter;
+    (nugget and sill variance) and other covariance function parameters by
+    cross; validation and also by restricted maximum likelihood. For Kriging;
+    there is an easy to use function that also estimates the correlation; scale
+    (range parameter).  A major feature is that any covariance function;
+    implemented in R and following a simple format can be used for; spatial
+    prediction. There are also many useful functions for plotting; and working
+    with spatial data as images. This package also contains; an implementation
+    of sparse matrix methods for large spatial data; sets and currently
+    requires the sparse matrix (spam) package. Use; help(fields) to get started
+    and for an overview.  The fields source; code is deliberately commented and
+    provides useful explanations of; numerical details as a companion to the
+    manual pages. The commented; source code can be viewed by expanding the
+    source code version; and looking in the R subdirectory. The reference for
+    fields can be generated; by the citation function in R and has DOI
+    <doi:10.5065/D6W957CT>. Development; of this package was supported in part
+    by the National Science Foundation  Grant; 1417857,  the National Center
+    for Atmospheric Research, and Colorado School of Mines.; See the Fields
+    URL; for a vignette on using this package and some background on spatial
+    statistics."""
