Geography
and Technology: A Centennial Publication
As part of the AAG’s
centennial celebration, all those registering for the 2004 Philadelphia
meeting will receive a complimentary copy of Geography and Technology,
edited by Stanley D. Brunn (University of Kentucky), Susan L.
Cutter (University of South Carolina), and J. W. Harrington,
Jr. (University of Washington). The book, a collection of twenty-five
original chapters by junior and senior geographers, addresses
how various advances in technology have affected geography as
a discipline, and how these technologies have impacted the production,
consumption, and dissemination of geographical information.
The book is divided
into five sections, entitled Geography and Technology Interfaces,
Technologies that Changed Geography, New Geographies with New
Technologies, The Environment and Technology, and The Worlds
Before Us.
The volume could
be used in classes where specific technologies are investigated
as well as in advanced disciplinary and interdisciplinary courses
and seminars where society and technology linkages are addressed.
The book could also be used for those investigating social and
policy issues, planning and development, and by those with interests
in disciplinary and intellectual histories.
