This volume attests to our interest in seeing how other fields and disciplines, even in some very imaginative and creative ways, explore the meanings of space. Second, we are especially interested in how geography-related fields in the social and natural sciences and the humanities map spaces, places, and space/time relations. The contributors to this volume address mapping issues and topics, not only by presenting examples for wider scholarly communities, but also by issuing challenges to their own colleagues to focus new or renewed attention on space/place mapping. We also believe strongly that geography is not the only discipline with an interest in mapping, but a discipline that has much to help other fields and disciplines learn additional insights that can come from describing and analyz
