An innovative contribution to the literature of cultural geography,
this book explores the evolution of landscape--both material and
symbolic--from the standpoint of the populations, cultures, and
human decision-making processes that shape and give it meaning.
Focusing on evolution, behavior, symbolism, and ecology, Norton
offers a critique of the literature of cultural and social
geography and articulates a framework of central issues that
connect a wide range of theoretical approaches. In the first four
chapters, Norton gives detailed consideration to both traditional
and contemporary literature and methodologies and to the links
between cultural geography and other social science concepts and
analytical methods. The remaining chapters are concerned with the
causes and consequences of cultural landscape evolution and the
variables affecting it, including language, religion, politics,
society, economy, and the physical environment. In addressing these
areas of cultural geography, Norton promotes an approach that
integrates the contributions of geography with those of
anthropology, sociology, psychology, and history. His analysis
provides a useful synthesis of the conceptual and empirical content
of cultural geography and suggests promising new directions for
research in the field. Norton's work will prove a valuable
classroom and library resource for students and scholars in
cultural and social geography and related areas of sociology and
anthropology.

This series has addressed a constituency of scientists possessing
biochemical background with the goal of providing them with
specialized reviews of neu robiological interest. Since its
initiation, neurochemistry and neuroscience have come of age, and
the editors initiate with this volume the concept of a central
theme. It is planned that each subsequent volume will also be
topical. We note with sadness the passing of Dr. Henry Mahler who
served as an advisory editor since the initiation of this series.
He played a major role in building the bridge between biochemistry
and neurochemistry and will be missed. Weare pleased to welcome two
new editors, Drs. William Norton and Bruce McEwen. B. W. Agranoff
M. H. Aprison vii FOREWORD Oligodendroglia constitute one of the
three principal cell types of the central nervous system. These
cells, together with their elaborated membranes, account for at
least 25 percent of the dry mass of an adult rat brain and an even
greater percentage of the central nervous system of larger
animals."
