商品描述
Spatial Thinking in Environmental Contexts: Maps, Archives, and Timelines cultivates the spatial thinking "habit of mind" as a critical geographical view of how the world works, including how environmental systems function, and how we can approach and solve environmental problems using maps, archives, and timelines. The work explains why spatial thinking matters as it helps readers to integrate a variety of methods to describe and analyze spatial/temporal events and phenomena in disparate environmental contexts. It weaves together maps, GIS, timelines, and storytelling as important strategies in examining concepts and procedures in analyzing real-world data and relationships. The work thus adds significant value to qualitative and quantitative research in environmental (and related) sciences.
Features
- Written by internationally renowned experts known for taking complex ideas and finding accessible ways to more broadly understand and communicate them.
- Includes real-world studies explaining the merging of disparate data in a sensible manner, understandable across several disciplines.
- Unique approach to spatial thinking involving animated maps, 3D maps, GEOMATs, and story maps to integrate maps, archives, and timelines--first across a single environmental example and then through varied examples.
- Merges spatial and temporal views on a broad range of environmental issues from traditional environmental topics to more unusual ones involving urban studies, medicine, municipal/governmental application, and citizen-scientist topics.
- Provides easy to follow step-by-step instructions to complete tasks; no prior experience in data processing is needed.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《環境背景下的空間思維：地圖、檔案與時間線》培養了空間思維的「思維習慣」，作為理解世界運作的關鍵地理觀點，包括環境系統如何運作，以及我們如何利用地圖、檔案和時間線來接近和解決環境問題。本書解釋了空間思維的重要性，因為它幫助讀者整合多種方法來描述和分析不同環境背景下的空間/時間事件和現象。它將地圖、地理資訊系統（GIS）、時間線和敘事編織在一起，作為檢視分析現實世界數據和關係的關鍵策略。因此，本書為環境（及相關）科學中的定性和定量研究增添了重要價值。
特點
- 由國際知名專家撰寫，他們以將複雜的概念轉化為更易於理解和溝通的方式而聞名。
- 包含現實世界的研究，解釋如何以合理的方式合併不同的數據，並在多個學科中易於理解。
- 獨特的空間思維方法，涉及動畫地圖、3D地圖、GEOMAT和故事地圖，以整合地圖、檔案和時間線——首先在單一環境範例中，然後通過多樣的範例。
- 將空間和時間的視角融合於廣泛的環境議題中，從傳統環境主題到涉及城市研究、醫學、市政/政府應用和公民科學家主題的較不尋常議題。
- 提供易於遵循的逐步指導來完成任務；不需要任何數據處理的先前經驗。

Sandra L. Arlinghaus holds a Ph.D. in theoretical geography (The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) and other degrees and advanced education in mathematics (from Vassar College, the University of Chicago, the University of Toronto, and Wayne State University). She holds an M.A. in Geography from Wayne State University, an A. B. in Mathematics from Vassar College, and a High School Diploma from the University of Chicago, Laboratory Schools. She has published over 300 books and articles, many in peer-reviewed publications. She continues innovative approaches in publication as creator of Solstice: An Electronic Journal of Geography and Mathematics, perhaps the world's first online peer-reviewed publication (1990-), and as co-creator with William C. Arlinghaus and Frank Harary of John Wiley & Sons first eBook in 2002. Dr. Arlinghaus is the co-author of CRC Press' book Spatial Mathematics: Theory and Practice through Mapping, published in 2013
