The book simplifies the essential ingredients of an explicitly scientific human geography to the point at which they can be readily understood by the beginning student. It reflects, therefore, the conceptual rather than the technical advances of the past ten to fifteen years; the revolution in geography has, after all, been as much one of concept as it has been one of quantitative technique. Since these conceptual advances have included generality in description, the book stresses the general concept of spatial pattern or locational predictability. More recently, geographers have become aware of the need to examine pattern in terms of its dynamics. This is a view to which we subscribe, and it is apparent in my concern in this book with the spatial dynamics of migration fields, communication networks, land-use patterns, and the like.
