Critical Commentary
In 1987, a team of three people – David Wade Chambers, David Turnbull and Helen Watson – began a systematic review of cross-cultural content in the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science. In 'Maps are Territories,' one of several publications resulting from that collaborative scholarship, David Turnbull analyses maps both as a metaphor for knowledge and also as a major means of knowledge representation in a wide array of cultures.
