Geography and Geographers

Reviews / Votes

'Has probably done more to shape human geographers' collective sense of what geography is and has been about than any other single source.'

Murray Low [commenting on the fifth edition], Political Geography (2004)

Comments on the seventh edition:

"This new edition of Geography and Geographers is especially welcome. By providing what the authors call "wider discussions of the contexts" within which geographical endeavour has been located, it shows that the historical geography of geography has come of age. As a working map of the territory, this is a superlative piece of intellectual cartography that no geographers wanting to orientate themselves can afford to be without."

Professor David N. Livingstone, Queen's University Belfast

"Geography and Geographers is a living classic. It provides a compelling and subtle narrative of the key intellectual shifts shaping contemporary Geography, one that is sensitive to the range of factors that shape academic knowledge. An invaluable resource for scholars from students to professors, and an intellectual achievement in its own right."

Professor Clive Barnett, Professor of Geography and Social Theory, University of Exeter
