“…My own account is largely confi ned to the British experience, but Hart restores the French to the prominent place from which they have been evicted in too many English-language accounts of the war. Chasseaud ( 2002 ) shows that, for all the differences between them, "in almost every aspect of war survey and mapping" the British, French, and German armies "developed remarkably similar organisations and methods, suggesting that problems were clear and solutions obvious" Ranging and Survey section of military surveyors arrived in France in November 1914, and by March 1915 their fi eld sheets had been submitted to the Ordnance Survey for the production of a new series of 1:20,000 maps. 7 My discussion of military cartography and its ancillary practices has two principal limitations.…”

Knowledge and SpaceThis book series entitled "Knowledge and Space" is dedicated to topics dealing with the production, dissemination, spatial distribution, and application of knowledge. Recent work on the spatial dimension of knowledge, education, and science; learning organizations; and creative milieus has underlined the importance of spatial disparities and local contexts in the creation, legitimation, diffusion, and application of new knowledge. These studies have shown that spatial disparities in knowledge and creativity are not short-term transitional events but rather a fundamental structural element of society and the economy.The volumes in the series on Knowledge and Space cover a broad range of topics relevant to all disciplines in the humanities and social sciences focusing on knowledge, intellectual capital, and human capital: clashes of knowledge; milieus of creativity; geographies of science; cultural memories; knowledge and the economy; learning organizations; knowledge and power; ethnic and cultural dimensions of knowledge; knowledge and action; and the spatial mobility of knowledge. These topics are analyzed and discussed by scholars from a range of disciplines, schools of thought, and academic cultures. Knowledge and Space is the outcome of an agreement concluded by the Klaus Tschira Foundation and Springer in 2006More information about this series at
