Geography and Technology

Published on 2004-03-31 by Springer Science & Business Media

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.

Do not you sort of loathe how we've entered the decadent phase of Goodreads whereby possibly fifty % (or more) of the reviews written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually naked and unabashed within their variously successful efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you sort of maple (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's happy druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were uniformly plainspoke Do not you sort of hate how we've joined the decadent phase of Goodreads when perhaps fifty per cent (or more) of the reviews compiled by non-teenagers and non-romancers are actually naked and unabashed within their variously successful attempts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you type of maple (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's merry druthers) for the great ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all evaluations were consistently plainspoken, only practical, unpretentious, and -- especially otherwise -- boring, boring, boring? Do not you type of hate when people state'don't you think this way or feel like that'in an attempt to goad you equally psychologically and grammatically into accepting together? In what of ABBA: I do, I really do, I do(, I really do, I do). Well, as the interwebs is a earth in which yesteryear stands shoulder-to-shoulder with today's (and with fetish porn), we are able to review yesteryear in their inviolable presentness any moment we wish. Or at the very least till this amazing site ultimately tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's report on Macbeth in its entirety. I've bound it with a heavy string and drawn it here for the perusal. (Please recognize that many a sic are recommended in these reviews.) their actually complex and ridiculous! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at the least that book is excellent! There you have it. Refreshingly, not just a evaluation written in one of the witch's sounds or alluding to Hillary and Statement Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Only a primal shout unleashed to the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teen, but I admire his ability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation having an economy and a quality that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's overview of the exact same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he's the'Problems Architect'only at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies he designs problems... that will be the case, for all I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that you don't want to learn is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it was supposed to be read, then it would have been a novel, not just a play. Together with that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for every character for a couple pages). None folks had see the play before. None people wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared as if they weren't paying attention. This compounded to produce me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. And it also can actually fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between the author and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and in the event that you require anyone, under duress, to read a play then you definitely have sinned and are likely to hell, in the event that you believe in hell. If not, you're going to the DMV. I am also tired of whatever you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a note overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age once we are taught to respect each other's differences, this indicates offensively egocentric and mean-spirited you may anticipate others tokowtow for your petty linguistic rules. Inventive expression will absolutely free per se regardless of how you attempt to shackle it. That's your cue, Aubrey. In my very own opinion, your have fun with Macbeth ended up being the actual worste peice possibly published by Shakespeare, which is saying quite a lot thinking about in addition, i study their Romeo and also Juliet. Ontop with it is by now unbelievable piece, impracticable character types as well as absolutly discusting set of ethics, Shakespeare honestly molds Sweetheart Macbeth because genuine vilian in the play. Considering nancy mearly a tone of voice inside your back circular and Macbeth themselves is definitely truely carrying out a horrible offences, such as homicide plus fraud, I would not see why it's so simple to imagine this Macbeth would certainly be willing to complete excellent rather then malignant doubts her girlfriend have been extra possitive. I believe that this play is usually uterally unrealistic. Yet this is in no way the actual ne additionally extremely involving typical e book reviewing. Though succinct plus without having drawing attention tendency for you to coyness as well as cuteness, Jo's review alludes to a animosity therefore profound that it must be inexpressible. A person imagines a couple of Signet Timeless Designs hacked for you to pieces with pruning shears within Jo's vicinity. I don't really like this specific play. A case in point this I can't also supply you with just about any analogies and also similes in respect of what amount We detest it. A great incrementally snarkier sort could have stated one thing like...'I detest this kind of engage in as being a simile I can not come up with.' Not really Jo. She talks some sort of uncooked, undecorated reality not fit for figurative language. Along with there is no problem having that. One time with a great although, once you get neck-deep within dandified pomo hijinks, it really is a great wallow while in the hog dog pen that you are itchin'for. Appreciate it, Jo. I love you and your useless holding from similes that will are unable to method this bilious hate as part of your heart. That you are my own, in addition to We are yours. Figuratively communicating, regarding course. And from now on the following is my personal critique: Macbeth by means of Bill Shakespeare is the best literary deliver the results inside the English terminology, along with anybody who disagrees can be an asshole and a dumbhead.
