Description
Book SynopsisThe 1990s saw geography transformed by a range of cultural and philosophical approaches. Designed for students as an introduction to these ideas, this book covers the history of geographic thought and explores world issues in social, cultural, political and economic geography using modern theory.
Trade Review"Thinking Geographically offers students and faculty alike an elegant, concise, and thorough overview of contemporary theoretical concerns in geography. Easily accessible to those unfamiliar with social theory, this volume "pushes the envelope" of understanding by sketching the contours of post-structuralist spatial thought, including such critical emerging topics as geographies of text, the body, money, and globalisation. Brief biographies of influential theorists demonstrate how ideas are embodied and personified. This volume is highly useful for courses in human geography, the history and status of the discipline, and will stand as a milestone in the discipline's conceptual understanding over the next decade or more." Barney Warf, Florida State University
