Additional text
With expected revisions and updates, this well-regarded textbook continues to provide accessible, authoritative and wide-ranging coverage of GPE that importantly features historically informed studies. And beyond expectations, the 7th edition delivers an exceptional contribution by addressing the fraught terrain of rapidly changing - indeed, field-transforming - socio-cultural, technological and political developments. The latter confound conventional approaches, but they confront our students and must be engaged. Highly recommended; even the glossary is exceptional!
