About The Time and space are two of the most basic dimensions of human life. Geography has a special merit as an integrating framework for the study of time, space, and society. At the same time, however, time and space also serve as major influencing factors in mankind's actions

Interestingly enough, the social connotations of time and space have mostly been studied with the individual human being in mind. Geography has a special merit as an integrating framework for the study of time, space, and society. It is a discipline that has space at the center of its raison d'etre and, as such, has always striven for integration, holism and comprehensiveness. As such, they provide the context for human existence. Hence, a vast literature has developed on time and space as separate dimensions, and recently on time-space as joint dimensions. The more societal significance of time and space, whether separately or jointly, have been relatively neglected. Time and space are two of the most basic dimensions of human life. Given my own education and work, the approach will lean more to the geographical perspective. It is, thus, obvious that the topic may be highlighted from several perspectives. At the same time, however, time and space also serve as major influencing factors in mankind's actions. It is the purpose of this volume to help fill this lacuna through discussions on some of the many junctions of time, space, and society at large. They envelop all human beings from birth to death. The discussion will naturally involve concepts and findings from more than just one discipline -- notably, geography, sociology, social history and political science.

Instead, by focusing on urban systems theory, it might be possible to theorize about the factors related to the changing geography of Japan, such as the growth and decline processes of Japanese urban systems, the strengthening of ties among cities and associated factors, and the expansion of socioeconomic exchanges with cities overseas, from a perspective that is different from the conventional approach.

Furthermore, the chapters will be interesting to applied geographers and energy policymakers who can see the value of the spatial perspective in addressing energy problems.

It shows that plans and policies often defy the commonly perceived role of advancing equality, justice, development and amenity, by causing social problems, marginalisation and inequalities.

The book addresses critically the question: "What is the societal impact of urban and regional planning?". It begins with a theoretical discussion and then analyses, through a series of case studies, the intentions, contents, struggles and consequences of urban and regional planning. The book looks at planning from a critical distance, without a priori belief in its necessity or usefulness.

At the University of British Columbia I was supervised at different times by Julian Minghi and Victor Prescott, both of whom are not only extremely capable academics but are also very fine people.

The Geopolitics of Australiaâs Regional Relations The origins of this book go back 30 years to the stimulation and interest generated by the political geography seminars led by John House at the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Equally fortunately, some of them and their predecessors had already blazed a trail to undertake graduate studies in Canada. I am especially grateful for the support provided by so many Japanese academic colleagues and friends beginning as early as 1976.

This, however, is only part of the problem because other factors such as element speciation, uptake and transmission may be more significant than total concentration.

Environmental Geochemistry and Health One of the main outcomes of the eleven meetings of the Working Party was the recognition of the importance of interdisciplinary studies linking regional geochemistry with plant, animal and human health. Nevertheless, there is good evidence for diseases in livestock in the British Isles induced by deficiencies of Cu, Se and Co and Mo excess.. What is generally lacking, however, is adequate interaction between geochemists and biochemists, veterinary scientists and other concerned with animal health.

In the authors' view, the conception of a theory of local development implies radical rethinking in institutionalist terms of the way of viewing the economy and production, recognising that behind economic development lies a wealth of institutional assets that make the encounter between local and global more open and varied than ever before (institutional biodiversity).

Local Development and Competitiveness The hypothesis is that these are not accidental episodes but a full-blown revolution in the way of viewing economic processes and their links with social and cultural structures. In recent years, the contemporary social sciences have again turned their attention to space and places. The key idea is that there is no single development model operating at a given time and valid for all places, but that it is more correct to talk of multiple development paths that co-exist in the same place at the same time (multiplicity of development paths)..
