I was puzzled by the word "psychogeography". I read the essay within the linked site, and came to the opinion that what's being referred to would better be renamed. (More on that below) As I understand it, the first two syllables modify the noun following. But I don't think the essay's direction is really about that. The writer seems really to refer to the influence of geographical features on the human psyche. Thus, I think the better word for the phenomenon would be "geopsychology". YMMV. Dave Oesterreich
