Abstract

A term with myriad associations, revolution is commonly understood in its intellectual, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. Until now, almost no attention has been paid to revolution and questions of geography. Geography and Revolution examines the ways that place and space matter in a variety of revolutionary situations. David N. Livingstone and Charles W. J. Withers assemble a set of essays that are themselves revolutionary in uncovering not only the geography of revolutions but the role of geography in revolutions. Here, scientific revolutions-Copernican, Newtonian, and Darwinian-ordinarily thought of as placeless, are revealed to be rooted in specific sites and spaces. Technical revolutions-the advent of print, time-keeping, and photography-emerge as inventions that transformed the world's order without homogenizing it. Political revolutions-in France, England, Germany, and the United States-are notable for their debates on the nature of political institutions and national identity. Gathering insight from geographers, historians, and historians of science, Geography and Revolution is an invitation to take the where as seriously as the who and the when in examining the nature, shape, and location of revolutions.

Abstract

The behavioral environment model, as developed by William Kirk, emphasizes the importance of perception in human geography, the significance of subjective experience, and the potential of man as an active agent in the environment. This book examines the concept of the behavioral environment. Drawing on Kirk's work, the contributors reflect on the original formulation of the theory, apply its cardinal principles in a wide variety of contexts and re-evaluate its cognitive claims in the light of recent debates in philosophy and social theory. The book provides new empirical studies and fresh theoretical perspectives and argues that the behavioral approach is vital to a consistent understanding of individual rights and ecological respect.

Abstract

Placing human action and perception at the centre of the subject, this book considers the effects of mankind on the environment, drawing particularly from William Kirk's work on the behavioural environment model. Reviewing Kirk's original model in light of recent ideological debate and extensive new evidence, this collection of essays from leading names in the field shows that a behavioural approach is essential in understanding human geography and man's relationship with the ecological environment.
