Synopsis "geography and technology"

this volume celebrates the 100th anniversary of the association of american geographers. it recognizes the importance of technologies in the production of geographical knowledge. the original chapters presented here examine technologies that have affected geography as a discipline. among the technologies discussed are cartography, the camera, aerial photography, computers, and other computer-related tools. the contributors address the impact of such technologies on geography and society, disciplinary inquiries into the social/technological interfaces, high-tech as well low-tech societies, and applications of technologies to the public and private sectors. geography and technology can be used as a textbook in geography courses and seminars investigating specific technologies and the impacts of technologies on society and policy. it will also be useful for those in the humanities, social, policy and engineering sciences, planning and development fields where technology questions are becoming of increased importance. geography clearly has much to learn from other disciplines and fields about geography/technology linkages; others can likewise learn much from us.
