This book introduces the Internet through a systematic geographical
interpretation, thus shedding light on the Internet as a spatial
entity. The book's approach is to extend basic concepts developed
for terrestrial geography to cyberspace, most notably those
relating to space, structure, place, distance, mobility, and
presence. It further considers the Internet by its constitution of
information space, communications space, and screen space. By using
well-known concepts from traditional human geography, this book
proposes a combination of terrestrial and virtual geographies,
which may in turn help in coping with Internet structures and
contents. The book appeals to human and economic geographers,
especially those interested in information and Internet
geographies. It may also be of special interest and importance to
sociologists and media scholars and students dealing with
communication technology and the Internet.
