First published in 1968, this book explores the theme of geographical generalization, or model building, examining the nature and function of generalized statements, ranging from conceptual models to scale models, in a geographical context. It focuses on demographic and sociological models as well as models in human geography in reference to economic development, urban geography and settlement location, industrial location, and agricultural activity.
