Remodelling Geography

"Remodelling Geography" celebrates the coming of age of model building as a method of geographical enquiry. With contributions from leading scholars from across the discipline and outside it, the book demonstrates the continuing vitality, current problems and likely future directions of geographical modelling. Developed from papers presented at a conference called to mark the twentieth anniversary of the publication of "Models in Geography", the volume covers the development of applied geography, the changing technical environment, critical view of modelling and the question of research priorities. It contains a number of major proposals for reorientating geographical enquiry - for "remodelling" it in the light of the many changes that have taken place both inside and outside the discipline since "Models in Geography" was published. University students, teachers and researchers in all aspects of geography throughout the world.
