Connecting the massive landscapes of North and South America is Mexico and Central America. An area of fascination and study for geographers and other scholars from around the world, these lands and peoples have played important roles in the discoveries and distributions of civilizations, resources, and nations for millennia.

El turismo rural viene demostrando una acelerada dinámica. Se trata de un ajuste lógico al nuevo turismo,marcado por su incidencia y repercusión en algunos territorios de interior, por los nuevos hábitos de los turistas, por el uso creciente de las nuevas tecnologías, por la segmentación de los mercados y por la necesidad de abordarlo desde nuevos planteamientos de sostenibilidad.

Der Begriff der Kartographie sieht sich zunehmend herausgefordert - unter anderem durch neue, technologisch bedingte Raum- und Zeitwahrnehmungen, geopolitische Umbrüche sowie den kommunikativen Imperativ der universalen Vernetzbarkeit. Die in diesem Band gestellte Frage nach der Zukunft der Kartographie lautet: Wie verhält sich Kartographie zu »Mapping« und »Kartierung«, zu deren weit zurückreichender Vorgeschichte, zu deren heutiger Anwendung auf so gut wie alle kulturellen Phänomene? Die Beiträge zeigen, dass es aktuell nicht bloß um terminologische Verschiebungen geht. Jedoch: Beschert uns die Kartographie eine kulturelle Leitmetapher oder befindet sie sich in einer epistemologischen Krise?
