This comprehensive Handbook summarizes existing work and presents
new concepts and empirical results from leading scholars in the
multidisciplinary field of behavioral and cognitive geography, the
study of the human mind, and activity in and concerning space,
place, and environment. It provides the broadest and most inclusive
coverage of the field so far, including work relevant to human
geography, cartography, and geographic information science.
Behavioral and cognitive geography originated as a contrast to
aggregate approaches to human geography that treat people as
homogenous and interchangeable; to models of human activity based
on simplistic and psychologically implausible assumptions; and to
conceptualizations of humans as passive responders to their
environment. This Handbook is highly multi- and interdisciplinary,
featuring scholars from geography, geographic information science,
and more than ten other academic disciplines; including:
psychology, linguistics, computer science, engineering,
architecture and planning, anthropology, and neuroscience. The
contributors adhere to scientific rigor in their approach, while
fully engaging with issues of emotion, subjectivity, consciousness,
and human variability. Thoroughly informed by the history of
geography and of the cognitive sciences but also providing
guideposts for future research and application, this Handbook will
be an essential resource for researchers, lecturers and students in
geography, psychology, and other social, behavioral, cognitive, and
design sciences. Contributors include: P. Agarwal, A.P. Boone, T.T.
