What is History of Regional Science and the Regional Science Association International : The Beginnings and Early History about?

The book portrays how a new unique social science field of study evolved and describes the formation of a society associated with the field.

It has become today, in the mind of the founder and author, to be among the leading areas of study (if not the leading one) in attacking the globalization problems -economic, political and cultural- of the world eco
