Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographers is an annual collection of studies on individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography and geographical thought. Subjects are drawn from all periods and from all parts of the world, and include famous names as well as those less well known, including explorers, independent thinkers and scholars. Each paper describes the geographer's education, life and work and discusses their influence and spread of academic ideas. Each study includes a select bibliography and a brief chronology. The work includes a general index, and a cumulative index of geographers listed in volumes published to date.Published under the auspices of the International Geographical Union.
Download or read book Physical and Information Models in Geography Routledge Revivals written by Richard J. Chorley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1967, this book explores the theme of geographical generalization, or model building. It is composed of eight of the chapters from the original Models in Geography, published in 1967. The first chapter broadly outlines geographical generalization and examines the nature and function of generalized statements, ranging from conceptual models to scale models, in a geographical context. The following chapter deals with model theory in a wider scientific framework and the rest of the book discusses models of physical systems and information models. The book considers model-type generalizations that are applied in the three fields of geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and hydrology before focusing on the transference of information and ideas in geography. This text represents a robustly anti-idiographic statement of modern work in one of the major branches of geography.
Download or read book Geography and Technology written by Stanley D. Brunn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-05-31 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is particularly appropriate that the AAG's Centennial Celebration should prompt the publication of a volume devoted to Geography and Technology. New technologies have always been important in advancing geographic understanding, but never have they been so thoroughly and rapidly transformative of the discipline as at this stage in geography's evolution. Just as new technologies have profoundly expanded both research possibilities and the knowledge base of other disciplines, such as biology, physics or medicine, so too are the revolutionary new geographic technologies developed during the past few decades extending frontiers in geographic research, education and applications. They are also creating new and resurgent roles for geography in both society and in the university. This trend is still accelerating, as the integration of geographic technologies, such as the global positioning system and geographic information systems (GPS/GIS), is creating an explosion of new "real-time, real-world" applications and research capabilities. The resultant dynamic space/time interactive research and management environments created by interactive GPS/GIS, among other technologies, places geography squarely at the forefront of advanced multidisciplinary research and modeling programs, and has created core organization management tools (geographic management systems) which will dramatically change the way governments and businesses work in the decades ahead. While these and other important geographic technologies, including remote sensing, location-based services, and many others addressed in this book, are forging new opportunities for geography and geographers, they also pose challenges.
Download or read book Spatial Mathematics written by Sandra Lach Arlinghaus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In terms of statistics, GIS offers many connections. With GIS, data are gathered, displayed, summarized, examined, and interpreted to discover patterns. Spatial Mathematics: Theory and Practice through Mapping uses GIS as a platform to teach mathematical concepts and skills through visualization of numbers. It examines theory and practice from disparate academic disciplines such as geography, mathematics, physics, and general social science. This approach allows students to grapple with biodiversity, crime, natural hazards, climate, energy, water, and other relevant real-world issues of the twenty-first century. Includes QR Codes Linked to Animated Maps, a Mapping Activity Site, or to an Interactive Webpage, Creating an Interactive Resource That Stays Relevant The book integrates competing philosophical views of the world: synthesis and analysis. These two approaches yield different results and employ different tools. This book considers both approaches to looking at real-world issues that have mathematics as a critical, but often unseen, component. This approach shows readers how to use mathematics to consider the broad problem at hand and to explore diverse realms in the worlds of geography and mathematics and in their interface. A truly interdisciplinary text, the book bridges the worlds of mathematics and geography and demonstrates how they are inextricably linked. It takes advantage of the convergence in citizen science, STEM education, and mapping that help readers become critical consumers of data—understanding its content, quality, limitations, and benefits. It provides thorough grounding in the analytical, statistical, and computational skills required for working in any field that uses geospatial technologies—not just surveyors and remote sensing analysts.

Download or read book Spatial Economics written by Martin J. Beckmann and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1985 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to reintroduce the two-dimensional continuum as the natural spatial setting of economic activities and to exploit the idea for all its worth. Interaction between agents is viewed as flows of commodities or persons. Flows are generated by production and consumption activities representing sources and sinks of a flow field. The direction of flow is oriented by cost minimization and/or profit or utility maximization. Neoclassical economics is thus wedded to the hydrodynamics of flow fields. This approach may be viewed as a generalization of von Thuuml;nen's investigations. In fact, the specialization of land use, perhaps the most startling result of von Thuuml;nen's analysis, is also valid when demand is dispersed, i.e. for general spatially extended competitive markets. Main features: 1. The setting of the space economy is continuous 2-dimensional space. This makes it possible to appeal to geometric and geographical intuition, unlike the case of abstract indexing of locations in discrete models. 2. Structural stability analysis is used to characterize the qualitative features of the spatial organization of trade and production. 3. The analysis is founded on basic economic principles, unlike ad hoc theorizing by analogies in some of the current regional science literature.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The methodology for generalization of spatial distributions suggests a new solution for the determination of minimum paths between any two points covered by the distribution. Previous solutions required the collection of information about each point of from at least two points. The paper discusses a solution when the information related to any one point suffices for the determination of all paths. (Author).
Download or read book Exploring Geographic Information Systems written by Nicholas Chrisman and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the organized activity by which people: measure aspects of geographic phenomena and processes; represent these measurements, usually in the form of a computer database, to emphasize spatial themes, entities, and relationships; operate upon these representations to produce more measurements, and to discover new relationships by integrating disparate sources; and, transform these representations to conform to other frameworks of entities and relationships. These activities reflect the larger context, such as institutions and cultures, in which these people carry out their work. In turn, the GIS may influence these structures. This text provides the comprehensive coverage you will need to master this powerful new technology.
