This book formulates a methodological framework for geographic thought in the light of recent advances in geographic research and recent statements in the philosophy of science. The 'quantitative revolution' in geography has revealed wide new horizons for research and discovery and as large pitfalls. Professor Harvey argues that scientific methodology can be combined with the traditional objectives of geography, and that only in this way can the process of advance in geographical understanding be reasonable and logical.
