Features: The content of this book is sequentially reflected in the chapters of the original work. It begins with case studies from several parts of the United States, followed by detailed historical and spatial evolution descriptions and research, which introduce the underlying regularities and corresponding academic terminology behind the phenomena. Subsequently, it deduces the classical and modern forms of the central place theory, explores the origins of central places, and compares different cultural contexts. Finally, it elaborates on the predictive analysis methods of applied commercial geography and the countermeasures of rule masters. This sequence of presentation has been refined through years of practice and allows for both rapid and thorough explanations of classical and modern theories to beginners. We hope students will read carefully, paying particular attention to the figures and tables in the book, as the explanations are integrated with them. Understanding the initial sections is crucial for comprehending the later parts, and grasping these figures and tables will deepen students' understanding of the formulas.
