Geography
MODELS IN GEOGRAPHY aims at
presenting the important models and theories
in human geography at one place in a concise
and cogent manner. These include System
Analysis, Malthusian, Marxian and
Demographic Transitional Models, Central
Place Theory of Christaller and Losch, von
Thunen Model of Agricultural Land Use,
Weber’s Theory of Industrial Location,
Rostow’s Stages of Growth, Heartland and
Rimland Theories, and Laws of International
Boundaries and Frontiers. Besides, the Limits
to Growth, and Laws of Migration have also
been examined. A full chapter has been
devoted to types and patterns of rural
settlements, primate city, rank-size rule and
models of urban land. Documented with the
latest data, maps and diagrams, one chapter
has been written on climatic change.
It is hoped that the book will be of immense
help to the students and teachers alike. This
will also be useful for those preparing for
various competitive examinations.
