Encyclopedia Of Human Geography Human geography in the last decade has undergone a
conceptual and methodological renaissance that transformed it into one of the
most dynamic and innovative of the social sciences. Long a borrower of ideas
from other disciplines, geography has become a contributor in its own right,
and a “spatial turn” is evident in disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology,
and Literary Criticism.
With more than 300 entries written by an international team of leading
authorities in the field, the
Encyclopedia of Human Geography
offers a comprehensive overview of the major ideas, concepts, terms, and
approaches that characterize a notoriously diverse field. This
multidisciplinary volume provides cross-cultural coverage of human geography as
it is understood in the contemporary world and takes into account the enormous
conceptual changes that have evolved since the 1970s, including a variety of
social constructivist approaches.
Eye Movements
Eye-movement recording has become the method of
choice in a wide variety of disciplines investigating how the mind and
brain work. This volume brings together recent, high-quality
eye-movement research from many different disciplines and, in doing so,
presents a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in
eye-movement research.
Sections include the history of
eye-movement research, physiological and clinical studies of eye
movements, transsaccadic integration, computational modelling of eye
movements, reading, spoken language processing, attention and scene
perception, and eye-movements in natural environments.
* Includes recent research from a variety of disciplines
* Divided into sections based on topic areas, with an overview chapter beginning each section
*
Through the study of eye movements we can learn about the human mind,
and eye movement recording has become the method of choice in many
disciplines
The MIT encyclopedia of the cognitive sciences
A brief review of the encyclopedia by its authors:
The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MITECS to its friends) has been four years in the making from conception to publication. It consists of 471 concise articles, nearly all of which include useful lists of references and further readings, preceded by six longer introductory essays written by the volume’s advisory editors. We see MITECS as being of use to students and scholars across the various disciplines that contribute to the cognitive sciences, including psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology and the social sciences more generally, evolutionary biology, education, computer science, artificial intelligence, and ethology.
