< >Spatial and social cognition are entwined in multiple ways. This volume explores how social, cognitive, neuropsychological and, linguistic approaches converge in explaining the surprising links between space and social thought. Theories and evidence, ranging from psychological experiments to archival web research highlight how our bodies and our language interact in creating our (imaginary) social world.
