<P>The current "spatial turn" in many disciplines reflects an emergingscholarly interest in space and spatiality as central components in understanding the natural andcultural worlds. In <I>Space in Mind</I>, leading researchers from a range ofdisciplines examine the implications of research on spatial thinking and reasoning for education andlearning. Their contributions suggest ways in which recent work in such fields as spatial cognition,geographic information systems, linguistics, artificial intelligence, architecture, and datavisualization can inform spatial approaches to learning and education.</P><P>Afteraddressing the conceptual foundations of spatial thinking for education and learning, the bookconsiders visualization, both external (for example, diagrams and maps) and internal (imagery andother mental spatial representations); embodied cognition and spatial understanding; and thedevelopment of specific spatial curricula and literacies.</P><P><B>Contributors</B>Kinnari Atit, John Bateman, Ruth Conroy Dalton,Ghislain Deslongchamps, Bonnie Dixon, Roger M.
