Active researchers in the areas of geography and psychology have contributed to this book. Both fields are capable of increasing our scientific knowledge of how human behavior is interfaced with the molar physical environment. Such knowledge is essential for the solution of many of today's most urgent environmental problems. Failure to constrain use of scarce resources, pollution due to human activities, creation of technological hazards and deteriorating urban quality due to vandalism and crime are all well known examples. The influence of psychology in geographical research has long been

Der hier neu in die Forschung eingeführte Begriff des ‚Cityscaping‘ charakterisiert den kreativen Prozess, in dem ein Stadtbild in verschiedenen Medien – Text, Film und Artefakten – erschaffen und repräsentiert wird. Er lenkt damit die Aufmerksamkeit von gebauten Stadträumen auf mentale Bilder von Städten. Im Zentrum steht einerseits die Frage, mit welchen literarischen, visuellen und akustischen Mitteln die räumliche Imagination der Rezipienten angeregt wird; andererseits wird untersucht, welche Semantik und Funktionen einem medial konstruierten Stadtbild beigelegt werden. An Beispielen antiker Texte und Kunstwerke, neuzeitlicher Literatur und Filme werden das künstlerische Potenzial und die Techniken der Semantisierung von Stadtbildern beleuchtet. Mit seinem interdisziplinären Ansatz macht der Band erstmals deutlich, wie stark die mentalen Bilder städtischer Räume in der Antike und Neuzeit von medialen Techniken geformt wurden. The term ‘cityscaping’ is here introduced to characterise the creative process through which the image of the city is created and represented in various media – text, film and artefacts. It thus turns attention away from built urban spaces and onto mental images of cities. One focus is on the question of which literary, visual and acoustic means prompt their recipients’ spatial imagination; another is to inquire into the semantics and functions that are ascribed to the image of a city as constructed in various media. The examples of ancient texts and works of art, and modern literature and films, are used to elucidate the artistic potential of images of the city and the techniques by which they are semanticised. With its interdisciplinary approach, the volume for the first time makes clear how strongly mental images of urban space, both ancient and modern, have been shaped by the techniques of their representation in media.

Focusing on the relationship between England and Scotland and the interaction between history and geography, Penny Fielding explores how Scottish literature in the Romantic period was shaped by the understanding of place and space. This book examines geography as a form of regional, national and global definition, addressing national surveys, local stories, place-names and travel writing, and argues that the case of Scotland complicates the identification of Romanticism with the local. Fielding considers Scotland as 'North Britain' in a period when the North of Europe was becoming a strong cultural and political identity, and explores ways in which Scotland was both formative and disruptive of British national consciousness. Containing studies of Robert Burns, Walter Scott and James Hogg, as well as the lesser-known figures of Anne Grant and Margaret Chalmers, this study discusses an exceptionally broad range of historical, geographical, scientific, linguistic, antiquarian and political writing from throughout North Britain.
