"Cognitive and Linguistic Aspects of Geographic Space" contains a collection of 28 papers which discuss people's understanding of geographic space and how cognitive models of space relate to geographic information systems. The authors come from geography, psychology, engineering, computer science, mathematics, landscape architecture, information studies, anthropology and linguistics. Each article is concerned with some aspect of human understanding of space, or with how people interact in space, with each of the disciplines approaching the problem in a different way.
