An account which includes value relations shows that the phenomena said to characterise flexible accumulation are more contradictory and unstable, more varied, and more open to struggle than is supposed in work in which a new epoch is assumed

There are some exceptions to the general absence of geographical research on advertising: there is a large and rapidly growing geographical literature on place marketing. There is a need to develop a more subtle cultural geography as well as a more
It is suggested that the global sustainability debate would benefit from more active participation by geomorphologists and that geomorphology would itself benefit by embracing sustainable development research more explicitly. Agenda 21's action
parts of the urban area are far more frequent car drivers and use more energy than employees of workplaces located in central areas. An immediate increase in commuting distance of a workplace moving to the urban fringe has not been reversed by subsequent
are concentrated in cities, the growth of median household income in the 51 largest US cities over the 1980s is analysed, for all households and for black households. Cities more specialised in producer services at the beginning of the decade had much better growth
The chemical analysis of atmospheric dust from Niger occasionally yielded more water soluble K than could be expected from soil derived dust. The high K values were correlated with samples containing white sand-sized particles. These white particles
, identified as uric acid dihydrate, were then isolated and examined in more detail to determine whether they were the cause of the excess K. Their most probable origin was from bird urine by birds perching on the open bucket traps.
This study of agrarian and environmental change in a mountainous commune in north-western Vietnam shows some of the consequences of the transitional economy for more peripheral communities and ecosystems. The study focuses on some key aspects
of change, notably large scale infrastructure development, decollectivisation and the emergence of a market economy. It also investigates recent initiatives such as forest land allocation and small-scale irrigation development within a more decentralised

The A. argues for new medieval and postmodern conceptualizations of territoriality and sovereignty, which recognize that geographic space is becoming more complex and relative: conventional political concepts based on absolute space are increasingly
The paper explores Gottmann's geography prior to his work on megalopolis and its later development in the study of quaternary cities. By 1957 he had been publishing academic work for more of a quarter of a century. Analysis of that body of material
The debates surrounding the changing nature of the city suggest that there has been an important shift in the way that western cities are governed. There has been a reorientation to a more outward-orientated stance designed to encourage local growth
As a medium-sized metropolitan area, Portland is modestly but increasingly part of the global economy. Foreign direct investment and international trade are becoming more significant. There are dramatic increases in ethnic populations and businesses
in a series of sophisticated practices to monitor and control the populace. The disciplinary network is much more restricted, complex and contradictory than a simplistic Foucauldian reading would suggest.
was created as a tool of bioclimatic research. It permits for the calculation of more then twenty different biometeorological and thermophysiological indices. The software can be used both in scientific research and in the process of bioclimatological
of synthesizing model simulations and paleoclimatic data. Most parts of China will experience an increase in temperature, but the warming may be more remarkable in winter in the northern half of the country. Some regions will benefit from the climate change
