This twenty-sixth volume of Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies brings together essays on leading figures in time geography and regional theory, on GIS, on regional, cultural and political geography, on scriptural geography, historical geography and methodology, and on African exploration. Each essay engages with the individual's contribution to geography, their works and their lives and the intellectual and social contexts in which they worked and which helped shape them. In addition - and to mark the new co-editorial pairing leading the series - the volume has an essay on the history of GBS, on the importance of biographical work in the history of geography and on issues to be addressed by the scholarly communities engaged in promoting this vital area of geographical research.

This book focuses on the measurement and utilisation of quantitative indicators in the urban and regional planning fields. There has been a resurgence of academic and policy interest in using indicators to inform planning, partly in response to the current government's information intensive approach to decision-making. The content of the book falls into three broad sections: indicators usage and policy-making; methodological and conception issues; and case studies of policy indicators.

This book is designed as a thesis research manual for students pursuing policy research at a Masters level. It is also intended for students pursuing Masters in Business Administration (MBA) thesis and dissertation research projects. The book is structured in a simple format that takes the student through the entire research process. It assumes a deductive research logic as a strategy to make business managers and policy implementers apply scientific thinking to solving business and policy problems. The authors strongly believe that the book will make a big difference in the research lives of Masters students in Africa and beyond. The complicated treatise of research found in many research methods books usually puts off average students. This book, thus, fills a big gap in readily available, affordable and easily accessible simple research methods books to Masters students in the developing world such as Africa and beyond.
