Exploring Human Geography

A resource for first-year students of human geography, this introductory reader comprises key published writings from the main field of human geography. Because the subject is both broad and necessarily only loosely defined, a principal aim of the text is to present a view of the subject which is theoretically informed and yet recognizes that any view is partial, contingent and subject to change. The extracts selected are accessible and raise issues of method and theory as well as fact. The editors have selected articles that not only represent main currents in the present flow of academic geography but which are also responsive to developments outside the discipline. Their selection contains a mixture of established and recent writings and each section features a contextualizing introduction and detailed suggestions for further reading.
