Where and Why: The Spatial Perspective
Captions available
The idea
Science is the systematic examination of nature's structure and functioning and a growing body of knowledge; geography applies it spatially, asking where things are and why there. Maps are how spatial organisms relate to a world they must first locate.
In practice
Natural philosophy, the Greeks' rational investigation, as science's ancestor.
Where people slip
Finlayson's spatial perspective names the same habit.
