Why are you reading The Ghost Map?

The purpose of the AP course in Human Geography is to introduce students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration is to examine human social organization and its environmental consequences During the academic year you will be exposed to seven themes surrounding human geography:

I. Geography: Its Nature & Perspective

II. Population

III. Cultural Patterns and Processes

IV. Political Organization of Space

V. Agricultural and Rural Land Use

VI. Industrialization and Economic Development

VII. Cities and Urban Land Use

The Ghost Map will provide an initial opportunity for you to begin looking at things geographically. This

reading will provide a reference point throughout the course when discussing the different themes of geography.

A quick reading, cliff notes reading, or a Wikipedia reading will not be enough for your understanding of this

text as it pertains to our class. While reading, Irack of the following elements, although these are not questions for collection or that you have to outright answer: What physical components of geography are being discussed? Pay attention to the newness of mapping information at this point in history.

What elements of population are discussed/discovered at this time? Pay attention to how information is

reported, where it is reported to, and illness, mortality, and quality of life elements at that time period.

What cultural elements are being discussed? Pay attention to how individuals interact, habits, behavior, and the

roles that it plays throughout the book.

How do politics play a role throughout the book? This includes land use, city management, city services, and

how they overlap or are limited.

How does land use play a role in the book? Be mindful of noting the changes in land use over periods of time,

coupled with agricultural elements in how people live.

The Prologue and Epilogue, as well as the book itself, has some observations on cities, how they have grown,

will continue to grow, and challenges that they have faced over time. Some early vocabulary (first Unit) that may apply throughout the reading includes:

Fieldwork: The study of phenomena by visiting places and observing how people interact with and there by

change those places.

Human Geography: Focused on how people make places, how we organize space and society, how we interact

with each other in places and across space, and how we make sense of others and ourselves in our localities,

regions, and the world.

Globalization: Set of processes that are increasing interactions, deepening relationships, and accelerating

interdependence across national borders.

Spatial: Arrangement of places and phenomena, how they are laid out, organized, and arranged on Earth, and

how they appear on the landscape. Mapping spatial distribution can be the first step to understanding it.

Medical Geography: The study of health and disease within a geographic context and from a geographical

perspective. Among other things, medical geography looks at sources, diffusion routes, and distributions of

diseases.

Epidemic: Regional outbreak of a disease.

Spatial Perspective: Observing variations in geographic phenomena across space.

Space: Social relations stretched out.

Sense of Place: State of mind derived through the infusion of a place with meaning and emotion by

remembering important events that occurred in that place or by labeling a place with a certain character.

Accessibility: The degree of ease with which it is possible to reach a certain location from other locations.

Accessibility varies from place to place.

Spatial Interaction: The degree of flow of people, ideas, and goods among places. Activity Spaces: The places we travel to routinely in our rounds of daily activity.

Perceptual Regions: A region that only exists as a conceptualization or an idea and not as a physically

demarcated entity. For example, in the United States, quotesdbs_dbs14.pdfusesText_20
