In focusing on the "ars apodemica," or "art of travelling," a body of formal instruction on how to travel, observe and record the information gathered, Stagl demonstrates...

Spatial Statistics and Models
ISBN: 9789027716187 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The quantitative revolution in geography has passed. The spirited debates of the past decades have, in one sense, been resolved by the inclusion of quantitative techniques into the typical geographer's set of methodological tools. A new decade is upon us. Throughout the quantitative revolution, geographers ransacked related disciplines and mathematics in order to find tools which might be applicable to problems of a spatial nature. The early success of Berry and Marble's Spatial Analysis and Garrison and Marble's volumes on Quantitative Geog- raphy is testimony to their accomplished search....

ISBN: 9780674544529 / Angielski / Miękka / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It was, as Lewis Mumford said, "the fountainhead of the conservation movement," and few books since have had such an influence on the way men view and use land. "It is worth reading after a hundred years," Mr. Lowenthal points out, "not only because it taught important lessons in its day, but also because it still teaches them so well...Historical insight and contemporary passion make Man and Nature an enduring classic."
