The metaphors and concepts of geography now permeate literature, philosophy and the arts. Concepts such as space, place, landscape, mapping and territory have become pervasive as conceptual frameworks and core metaphors in recent publications by humanities scholars and well-known writers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEnvisioning Landscapes, Making Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e contains over twenty-five contributions from leading scholars who have engaged this vital intellectual project from various perspectives, both inside and outside of the field of geography.
