From the rear cover
'Even better than before, the Dictionary is an essential tool for all human geographers and over the years has provided an invaluable guide to the changing boundaries and content of the discipline. No-one can afford to be without this fifth edition.' Linda McDowell, University of Oxford
'From explanations of core concepts and central debates to lucid discussions of the theories driving contemporary research, this is the best conceptual map to the creative and critical thinking that characterises contemporary human geography. The fifth edition belongs on the bookshelf of all serious students.' Gerard Toal, Virginia Tech 'With an exceptional balance between breadth and depth, this is undoubtedly a timely and ground-breaking revision of the Dictionary. An outstanding accomplishment of the editors and contributors, and a comprehnsive and essential reference for any student or scholar interested in human geography.' Mei-Po Kwan, Ohio State University
'I can't imagine life without it. Definitive, detailed yet accessible: there's still no single-volume reference work in the field to rival it.' Noel Castree, University of Manchester The Dictionary of Human Geography represents the definitive guide to issues and ideas, methods and theories in human geography. Now in its fifth edition, this ground-breaking text has been comprehensively revised to reflect the changing nature and practice of human geography and its rapidly developing connections with other fields.
The major entries not only describe the development of concepts, contributions and ebates in human geography, but also advance them. Shorter, definitional entries allow quick reference and coverage of the wider subject area. Changes to the fifth edition include entries from many new contributors at the forefront of developments in the field, and over 300 key terms appearing for the first time. It features a new consolidated bibliography along with a detailed index and systematic cross-referencing of headwords.
The Dictionary of Human Geography continues to be the one guidebhook no student, instructor or researcher in the field can afford to be without.
