He is presently studying spatial and environmental learning in U.S. and Caribbean children. ROGER M. DOWNS, who completed a B.A. degree and two years of graduate work at the University of Bristol, has taught in the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering, The Johns Hopkins University. His major research interests are human spatial behavior, environmental cognition, and behavior analysis and environmental design.

Information for analyzing and siting STES is presented along with discussions of community applications, regulations, impacts and incentives. By providing this information to community planners, it is hoped that barriers to STES utilization can be anticipated and mitigated.

It refers to the attributes and relative locations of people and objects in the environment, and is an essential component in the adaptive process of spatial decision-making-such as fi nding a safe and quick route to and from work, locating potential sites for a new house or business, and deciding where to travel on a vacation trip. Cognitive processes are not constant, but undergo change with age or development and use or learning. Image and Environment, now in paperback, is a pioneer study. It brings a new academic discipline to a wide audience.

It is further assumed that when such children reach their majority and become such good citizens, that they, in their turn, will demonstrate their goodness in this realm by exercising their citizenship actively. In normative terms, we teach that: they should ‘take part’, that, in other words, they should ‘participate’. The world ‘out there’ is, however, different from that of the Civics class. While in Western democracies, limited participation in national and regional political processes, and in local decision-making, is often regarded on one level as both an absolute good and a civic responsibility, on another level it is seen as a nuisance, an impediment to efficiency, a barrier to ‘getting things done.’ Here, we experience a basic contradiction between the democratic ‘ideal’ of public involvement and the autocratic ‘reality’ (even in democracies) of elite decision-making. The same is frequently true of the ‘critical thinking’ we try to teach: its expression by ordinary citizens is often much more valued in the halls of academe than in the palaces of global capitalism.

Unfortunately, while intercultural training programs are currently offered to people involved in the international marketing of products, little similar training is currently available in the realm of professional services. Such professional services account yearly for billions of dollars of work done abroad—that is, outside the U.S.A. In the case of building construction, for example, the value of services performed in foreign areas is more than ten times the value of product sales in the same markets.

In Space in Mind, leading researchers from a range of disciplines examine the implications of research on spatial thinking and reasoning for education and learning. Their contributions suggest ways in which recent work in such fields as spatial cognition, geographic information systems, linguistics, artificial intelligence, architecture, and data visualization can inform spatial approaches to learning and education. After addressing the conceptual foundations of spatial thinking for education and learning, the book considers visualization, both external (for example, diagrams and maps) and internal (imagery and other mental spatial representations); embodied cognition and spatial understanding; and the development of specific spatial curricula and literacies.
