Time and space are two of the most basic dimensions of human life.
They envelop all human beings from birth to death. As such, they
provide the context for human existence. At the same time, however,
time and space also serve as major influencing factors in mankind's
actions. Hence, a vast literature has developed on time and space
as separate dimensions, and recently on time-space as joint
dimensions. Interestingly enough, the social connotations of time
and space have mostly been studied with the individual human being
in mind. The more societal significance of time and space, whether
separately or jointly, have been relatively neglected. It is the
purpose of this volume to help fill this lacuna through discussions
on some of the many junctions of time, space, and society at large.
The discussion will naturally involve concepts and findings from
more than just one discipline -- notably, geography, sociology,
social history and political science. It is, thus, obvious that the
topic may be highlighted from several perspectives. Given my own
education and work, the approach will lean more to the geographical
perspective. Geography has a special merit as an integrating
framework for the study of time, space, and society. It is a
discipline that has space at the center of its raison d'etre and,
as such, has always striven for integration, holism and
comprehensiveness.
