Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little did Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and other ‘gentlemen scientists’ know, when they were making their scientific discoveries, that some centuries later they would inspire a new field of scientific practice and innovation, called citizen science. The current growth and availability of citizen science projects and relevant applications to support citizen involvement is massive; every citizen has an opportunity to become a scientist and contribute to a scientific discipline, without having any professional qualifications. With geographic interfaces being the common approach to support collection, analysis and dissemination of data contributed by participants, ‘geographic citizen science’ is being approached from different angles. Geographic Citizen Science Design takes an anthropological and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) stance to provide the theoretical and methodological foundations to support the design, development and evaluation of citizen science projects and their user-friendly applications. Through a careful selection of case studies in the urban and non-urban contexts of the Global North and South, the chapters provide insights into the design and interaction barriers, as well as on the lessons learned from the engagement of a diverse set of participants; for example, literate and non-literate people with a range of technical skills, and with different cultural backgrounds. Looking at the field through the lenses of specific case studies, the book captures the current state of the art in research and development of geographic citizen science and provides critical insight to inform technological innovation and future research in this area.
Download or read book Science Philosophy and Physical Geography written by Robert Inkpen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible and engaging text explores the relationship between philosophy, science and physical geography. It addresses an imbalance that exists in opinion, teaching and to a lesser extent research, between a philosophically enriched human geography and a perceived philosophically empty physical geography. The text challenges the myth that there is a single self-evident scientific method that can, and is, applied in a straightforward manner by physical geographers. It demonstrates the variety of alternative philosophical perspectives and emphasizes the difference that the real world geographical context and the geographer make to the study of environmental phenomenon. This includes a consideration of the dynamic relationship between human and physical geography. Finally, the text demonstrates the relevance of philosophy for both an understanding of published material and for the design and implementation of studies in physical geography. This edition has been fully updated with two new chapters on field studies and modelling, as well as greater discussion of ethical issues and forms of explanation. The book explores key themes such as reconstructing environmental change, species interactions and fluvial geomorphology, and is complimented throughout with case studies to illustrate concepts.

Download or read book Rediscovering Geography written by Rediscovering Geography Committee and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-04-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As political, economic, and environmental issues increasingly spread across the globe, the science of geography is being rediscovered by scientists, policymakers, and educators alike. Geography has been made a core subject in U.S. schools, and scientists from a variety of disciplines are using analytical tools originally developed by geographers. Rediscovering Geography presents a broad overview of geography's renewed importance in a changing world. Through discussions and highlighted case studies, this book illustrates geography's impact on international trade, environmental change, population growth, information infrastructure, the condition of cities, the spread of AIDS, and much more. The committee examines some of the more significant tools for data collection, storage, analysis, and display, with examples of major contributions made by geographers. Rediscovering Geography provides a blueprint for the future of the discipline, recommending how to strengthen its intellectual and institutional foundation and meet the demand for geographic expertise among professionals and the public.
Download or read book The Senior Geography Classic Reprint written by Andrew John Herbertson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Senior Geography The letters which the editor of this series has received in recent years from all parts of the country, and from the colonies, have induced him to plan these books. Instead of two unrelated sections of physical and political geography as in older textbooks, an attempt has been made to write a series of geographies which contains the information usually expected from candidates for preliminary, junior, and senior local examinations, and other examinations of a similar standard, on geographical and educational lines. The first or preliminary volume was largely descriptive, and aimed at presenting definite pictures of the different regions of the globe, together with an outline of the salient topographical features. In the second or junior book a more definitely causal treatment was aimed at, and attention was specially drawn to the interrelation between configuration, climate, vegetation, and human activities. The geography of the British Isles was selected for specially full treatment on these lines, and the inductive method was freely employed to establish general geographical truths which are taken as axiomatic in the present volume. In this, the third or senior volume, it is assumed that pupils already possess some concrete knowledge of the world as a whole, and are familiar with the outlines of the general and economic geography of each continent. This renders it possible to proceed to the consideration of the world according to its Natural Regions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
