Synopses & Reviews
Geography and Geographers surveys the major trends in human 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 that should be done, and draws on a wide reading of the geographical literature produced during a fifty-year period, a time of massive growth and dynamic change in the discipline.
Review
