Mental maps

Edición de la obra Mental maps

"Mental maps is a study of the 'geography of perception': of the mental images we form of places, which are inevitably shaped by a selective channeling of information. ... The mental images we construct are crucial in deciding where to live, in the siting of factories and new towns, in our choice of holidays and in our attitude to other people. Geographers are now trying to measure 'mental maps', to discover how they are formed and how they differ. ... include account of mental maps at work in America, Sweden, Southeast Asia, parts of Africa and Britain, and an analysis of the implications of their findings."--Back cover.
