Description
This unique introduction to the philosophy and methodology of geography explores complex ideas in an intelligible and accessible style. This new edition has been extensively revised and rewritten, to explain developments in geography in the 1980s. There is more extensive treatment of European contributions, a more detailed presentation of positivist and critical approaches within geography and new coverage of physical and landscape geography. Suitable for courses on the theory and practice of geography and as an introduction for non-geographers to the contemporary scope and methodology of the subject.
