Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Provides readers with a solid background in the theories of economic geography, while examining contemporary issues. Updated edition integrates new recent research on industrial geography using information published within the last ten years with an added global emphasis. Features a new chapter on interdependent global economies and improved figures and graphics, including updated tables throughout the text.

Synopsis:

Eine solide Einführung in die Wirtschaftsgeographie! Die dritte Auflage wurde um aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse ergänzt, und die Autoren legen mehr Wert auf globale Belange. Angenehm fällt eine unvoreingenommene Diskussion verschiedenster Standpunkte auf, wie man sie in der verfügbaren Literatur nicht oft findet. (03/98)
