This book introduces the Internet through a systematic geographical interpretation thus
shedding light on the Internet as a spatial entity. The book's approach is to extend basic
concepts developed for terrestrial geography to cyberspace most notably those relating to
space structure place distance mobility and presence. It further considers the Internet by
its constitution of information space communications space and screen space. By using
well-known concepts from traditional human geography this book proposes a combination of
terrestrial and virtual geographies which may in turn help in coping with Internet structures
and contents. The book appeals to human and economic geographers especially those interested
in information and Internet geographies. It may also be of special interest and importance to
sociologists and media scholars and students dealing with communication technology and the
Internet.
