“This book is academic reading for someone who is interested in a more philosophical consideration of the value of geospatial technologies in geography education. ... some thought-provoking moments in reading this book and I have noted a few new ideas that I would like to investigate further. ... this book has reaffirmed my belief that Geography has a critical role in equipping students with skills and knowledge in geospatial technologies that can inform sustainable decision-making now and into the future.” (Julian Woolhouse, Geographical Education, Vol. 33, 2020)
