This comprehensive volume brings together a wealth of international research on the transformative quantitative revolution in geography. It offers diverse perspectives from various contexts and national traditions, challenging the Anglo-centric narratives that have dominated the field. The mid-20th-century quantitative revolution is widely acknowledged as a pivotal moment in the history of geography, transforming it into a modern and applied spatial science. This book sheds light on the diverse temporalities and spatialities of local geographies, paving the way for a global history of a specific mode of geographical thought. It contributes to ongoing discussions about the geographies and mobilities of knowledge, notions of worlding, linguistic privilege, decolonizing, and internationalizing geographic knowledge.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers, postgraduate students, and advanced scholars in geography as well as those with an interest in the spatial sciences. It provides a deep understanding of the historical, social, and cultural factors that have shaped the quantitative revolution in geography and its implications for the future of the field.
