Geography and Geographers: Anglo-American Human Geography Since 1945

by N/A

Synopsis

This study surveys the major trends in geography since 1945 in the English-speaking world and sets their appreciation within the context of economic, social and political changes. It focuses on the debates among geographers regarding what their discipline should study and how it should be done. The text draws on a wide reading of the geographical literature produced in the last 50-year period characterized by both massive growth in the number of academic geographers and substantial shifts in conceptions of the discipline's scientific rationale.

Media Reviews
...this is a fine book. It has no equal for providing a comprehensive tour d'horizon of modern human geography.
Environment and Planning A (of the fourth edition)

...the catholic sensitivity of the book and its commitment...to commentary is even more welcome now than it was 12 years ago. 'Geography and Geographers' remains a remarkable achievement.
Progress in Human Geography (of the fourth edition

'Geography and Geographers' has become an accepted text since its publication in 1979, and its success has resulted in the production of this fifth edition...it retains all the detail of the previous four versions but includes a completely new chapter on the 'cultural turn'.
