Geographic Visualization : Concept, tools and Applications Book

Edited by Martin Doge, Mary McDerby and Martin Turner.

Geographic Visualization: Concepts, Tools and Applications is a ‘state-of-the-art’ review of the latest developments in the subject. It examines how new concepts, methods and tools can be creatively applied to solve problems relevant to a wide range of topics.  The text covers the impact of three-dimensional displays on user interaction along with the potentialities in animation and clearly explains how to create temporally sensitive visualizations. It also explores the potential for handling mobile data and representing uncertainty; as well as the role of participatory visualization systems and exploratory methods.

‘…this book offers an important theoretical synthesis of emerging transnational and cross-disciplinary
research in the social sciences. Accompanied by innovative empirical case studies of the intersections of
automobility, work and home mobility in Europe, it will serve as an indispensable guide to the vibrant new
field of mobilities research.’ – Mimi Sheller, Swarthmore College, USA and Lancaster University, UK
 

’Tracing Mobilities … usefully presents the works of the contributors so far, and it advances our knowledge
of mobilities full-force into new directions. The varied disciplinary and country affiliations of the contributors
provide for a diversified tackling of the complex four-edged frontier: mobilities, being in motion, mobility
potentiality and its materialization.’ – Aharon Kellerman, University of Haifa, Israel
