First published in 1998, this volume, spanning a lifetime's
research, is a highly innovative first attempt at a consistent
theoretical approach to the elements, structures and dynamics of
the geography of agents, settlements and trade. Cause and effect
are replaced by chance within constraints. Populations are
substituted for unreal representative individuals, variability for
uniformity, probabilistic process for unique history. Ignorance is
a major factor in interpersonal and inter-areal commercial
relations so that the focus is on flows of information and their
effects on the efficiency of the economy or, alternatively, on
changes in its information content. Recent work on spatial
arrangements in many physical and social sciences is incorporated
but always interpreted from an overriding geographical viewpoint.
Key concepts are locational potential, distance friction, mobility,
diffusion, spatial pattern and texture, adaptability, efficiency,
spatial interaction and dependence. Analytic methods include
autocovariance and transfer functions, areal special densities and
entropy. Various forms of self-organization of economic spatial
patterns are examined.
