A broad overview of geography's renewed importance, which uses discussions and case studies to illustrate the use of its methodologies in studies of international trade, environmental change, information infrastructure, the condition of cities, and the spread of AIDS. Some of the more significant tools for data collection, storage, analysis and display, are examined. Finally, recommendations suggest how to strengthen the discipline's intellectual and institutional foundation, and how to meet the demand for geographical expertise among professionals and the public.
