Synopsis

'Geography and Geographers' surveys the major trends in human geography since 1945 in the English-speaking world and sets their appreciation within the context of economic, social and political changes. It focuses on the debates among geographers regarding what their discipline should study and how that should be done, and draws on a wide reading of the geographical literature produced during a fifty-year period characterised by both massive growth in the number of academic geographers and several very substantial shifts in conceptions of the discipline's scientific rationale.



The pace and volume of change within the discipline show no sign of diminishing, and this fifth edition contains much new material reflecting both continued developments within established fields of inquiry and the introduction of substantially new approaches during the current decade.
