Human Geography

This text examines the major trends, debates, research and conceptual evolution of human geography during the 20th century. Considering each of the subject's primary subfields in turn, it addresses developments in both continental European and Anglo-American geography, providing an evaluation of each. Fourteen researchers combine historical astuteness with personal insights and draw on a range of theoretical positions. A central theme of the book is the relative decline of the traditional subdisciplines in human geography towards the end of the 20th century, and the continuing movement towards interdisciplinary study in which the various strands of human geography are seen as inextricably linked.
