چکیده
This chapter provides an introduction to this book on Cognitive and Linguistic Aspects of Geographic Space—New Perspectives on Geographic Information Research. As background we provide historical information for the Las Navas 1990 meeting and citation statistics regarding the resulting book and its chapters. We also review the major intellectual influences on our field at that time from different perspectives and compare them to what we have learned over the two decades since then. This chapter finishes with a brief outlook on future research and summaries of the remaining chapters of the book.
