This new key textbook for introductory courses in human geography provides first and second-year undergraduates with a comprehensive thematic approach to the changing human geography of the UK at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century.

User-friendly textbook features include:
* chapter introductions, summaries and important theoretical principles
* up-to-date further reading and key on-line sources
* case studies, examples and revision questions.
