First published in 1967, this book explores the theme of
geographical generalization, or model building. It is composed of
five of the chapters from the original Models in Geography,
published in 1967. The first chapter broadly outlines this theme
and examines the nature and function of generalized statements,
ranging from conceptual models to scale models, in a geographical
context. The following chapters deal with mixed-system model
building in geography, wherein data, techniques and concepts in
both physical and human geography are integrated. The book contains
chapters on organisms and ecosystems as geographical models as well
as spatial patterns in human geography. This text represents a
robustly anti-idiographic statement of modern work in one of the
major branches of geography.
First published in 1967, this book explores the theme of
geographical generalization, or model building. It is composed of
eight of the chapters from the original Models in Geography,
published in 1967. The first chapter broadly outlines geographical
generalization and examines the nature and function of generalized
statements, ranging from conceptual models to scale models, in a
geographical context. The following chapter deals with model theory
in a wider scientific framework and the rest of the book discusses
models of physical systems and information models. The book
considers model-type generalizations that are applied in the three
fields of geomorphology, meteorology and climatology, and hydrology
before focusing on the transference of information and ideas in
geography. This text represents a robustly anti-idiographic
statement of modern work in one of the major branches of geography.

First published in 1968, this book explores the theme of
geographical generalization, or model building. It is composed of
seven of the chapters from the original Models in Geography,
published in 1967. The first chapter broadly outlines this theme
and examines the nature and function of generalized statements,
ranging from conceptual models to scale models, in a geographical
context. The following six chapters deal with socio-economic
building in geography. They focus on demographic and sociological
models as well as looking at special aspects of models in human
geography in reference to economic development, urban geography and
settlement location, industrial location, and agricultural
activity. This book represents a robustly anti-idiographic
statement of modern work in one of the major branches of geography.
