Physical geography

•  Cartography

  Cartography (in Greek chartis = map and graphein = write) is the study and practice of making geographical maps. Combining science, aesthetics, and technique, cartography builds on the premise that reality can be modeled in ways that communicate spatial information effectively. The fundamental problems of cartography are to: Set the map's agenda and select traits of the object to be mapped. This is the concern of map editing.

•  Stage (stratigraphy)

  In chronostratigraphy, a stage is a succession of rock strata laid down in a single age on the geologic timescale, which usually represents millions of years of deposition. A given stage of rock and the corresponding age of time will by convention have the same name, and the same boundaries. Rock series are divided into stages, just as geological epochs are divided into ages. Stages can be divided into smaller stratigraphic units called chronozones.

•  Human geography

  Human geography is an interdisciplinary field combining approaches from academic geography with the traditional subject matter of social science, thus emphasizing population issues such as tourism, urbanisation, and so on. Human/mankind geography broadly differs from physical geography in that it has a greater focus on studying intangible or abstract patterns surrounding human activity and is more receptive to qualitative research methodologies.

•  Regional geography

  Regional geography is a study of regions throughout the world in order to understand or define the unique characteristics of a particular region which consists of natural as well as human elements. Attention is paid also to regionalization which covers the techniques of space delineation into regions. Regional geography is also considered as a certain approach to study in geographical sciences.

•  Political geography

  Political geography is the field of human geography that is concerned with the study of both the spatially uneven outcomes of political processes and the ways in which political processes are themselves affected by spatial structures. Conventionally political geography adopts a three scale structure for the purposes of analysis with the study of the state at the centre, above this is the study of international relations, and below it is the study of localities.

•  Geomorphometry

  Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative land surface analysis. It gathers various mathematical, statistical and image processing techniques that can be used to quantify morphological, hydrological, ecological and other aspects of a land surface. Common synonyms for geomorphometry are geomorphological analysis, terrain morphometry or terrain analysis and land surface analysis.

•  Animal geographies

  Animal geographies is an area of study in geography, studying the spaces and places occupied by animals in human culture. An interest in animal geographies emerged in human geography in the mid 1990s. This was marked by a special edition of the journal Environment and Planning D: Society and Space in 1995 and a book by Jennifer Wolch and Jody Emel called Animal Geographies: place, politics and identity in the nature-culture borderlands published in 1998.

•  Physiographic regions of the world

  The physiographic regions of the world are a means of defining the Earth's landforms into distinct regions based upon Nevin Fenneman's classic three-tiered approach of divisions, provinces and sections, in 1916, which although they date from the mid 1910s, are still considered basically valid, and were the basis for similar classifications of other continents later.

•  Planetary cartography

  Albedo map shows the measured difference in surface reflectivity from the surface of celestial body. *Atlas is a special collection of images of a celestial body surface. The images may be from either ground-based or spacecraft sources. Usually a single scale or set of scales is used throughout the atlas. Atlases can have specific themes (e.g. , photographic, specialized to certain problems, thematic, etc.).

•  The King Beyond the Gate

  The King Beyond The Gate is a fantasy novel by David Gemmell. It was published in 1985. It was the second book published by Gemmell, after Legend, published a year earlier. The book is set in the same fictional world as Legend, that of the Drenai, but is not a sequel in the usual sense as the events of the two books take place around a century apart. Thus the main protagonists of Legend are long since dead and play little part in The King Beyond the Gate, other than passing mentions.
