After a while thse Outsized Maps were no longer sufficient, and the Schools of Cartography created a Map of the Empire that was the size of the Empire, matching it point by point. . . No other relics of Geographic Discipline can be found anywhere else in the land." - Jorge Luis Borges, 1968 - On Scientific Rigor Thank you Denis for introducing me to Concepts of Space almost two decades ago when studied at the School of Design (now College of Design) at NCSU. Then, I did not complete some of the writing but I enjoyed taking your class and reading the books. Today, I look back on those days of sophomoric discourse (I was in my second year of studies) as a fundamental block of knowledge to help me in both civilian and military studies. Tomorrow, I hope to emulate your scholarship with some works of my own. v/r Ralph http://www.linkedin.com/in/stantonsolutionsllc ABSTRACT
