Thinking Geographically - Space, Theory and Contemporary Human Geography

Zusatztext "Thinking Geographically offers students and faculty alike an elegant, concise, and thorough overview of contemporary theoretical concerns in geography. Easily accessible to those unfamiliar with social theory, this volume 'pushes the envelope' of understanding by sketching the contours of post-structuralist spatial thought, including such critical emerging topics as geographies of text, the body, money, and globalisation. Brief biographies of influential theorists demonstrate how ideas are embodied and personified. This volume is highly useful for courses in human geography, the history and status of the discipline, and will stand as a milestone in the discipline's conceptual understanding over the next decade or more."--Barney Warf, Florida State University Informationen zum Autor Phil Hubbard is Professor of Urban Studies and Director of the Urban Futures Research Group at King's College London, UK.
