This book is the first contemporary book to compare and integrate
the various ways geographers think about and use scale across the
spectrum of the discipline and includes state-of-the-art
contributions by authoritative human geographers, physical
geographers, and GIS specialists.
The editors place competing concepts of scale side by side,
demonstrating how different aspects are significant for each, and
providing a detailed comparative assessment. They set out from the
premise that there is much acknowledged common ground between these
different approaches and that valuable insight can be gained by
exploring it.
In light of the increased interest in global change and
globalisation, there has been a huge surge of interest in the
environmental and human sciences in the relationship between the
global, the regional and the local. For this reason, this cutting
edge survey of how geographers conceptualise scale should be of
interest across a broad range of disciplines.
