Description

This volume provides students of human geography with a useful resource, a collection of writings critical to understanding the field as a whole, which reveal the interactions of its component parts. It has been designed to give students ready access to the articles their studies are most likely to lead them to consult. The book is divided into five parts. Parts 1 and 2 describe the nature of the enterprise, to show the origins and current state of thinking on its central issues. Part 3 is concerned with the interactions between nature, culture and landscape. Part 4 considers aerial differences and geographic units, with the links between region, place and locality. Part 5 provides insights on the fundamental concepts of space, time and space-time.
