The shape of space : applying geometric morphometrics to geographic data
An example of warps analysis as applied to geographic data is presented. It focuses on the AIDS epidemic in two boroughs of New York City. Female adult AIDS incidence and percentage newborns exposed to HIV, by zip code for the years 1991-98
, are used to generate annual configurations within an ecological parameter space. A warps analysis of those configurations indicates a clear shift in the relative positions of Manhattan zip codes during the 1990s.

Geographicspace demonstrates scaling or hierarchy, implying that there are far more small things than large ones. The scaling pattern of geographicspace, if visualized properly can evoke a sense of beauty. This beauty is a new type of aesthetic
work The Nature of Order. To paraphrase Mandelbrot, this is beauty for the sake of science rather than for art's sake or for the sake of commerce. Throughout the article, we attempt to argue and illustrate that the scaling of geographicspace possesses

The outpouring of research on scale production and on rescaling processes has been accompanied by a blunting of the concept of geographical scale as it has been blended into concepts such as place, locality, territory and space. The paper explores

The A. argues for new medieval and postmodern conceptualizations of territoriality and sovereignty, which recognize that geographicspace is becoming more complex and relative: conventional political concepts based on absolute space are increasingly
problematic for understanding the political complexities of globalization. The A. sketches transformations of sovereignty from medieval to modern, and from modern to postmodern. Contemporary configurations of political space are a complex mixture of new
