Synopsis

The priorities of research and its funding have come to assume a dominant position in the lives of human geographers. But how is research conducted in a discipline as rich and diverse as human geography? Why and how is it started, how is it maintained, and how do original objectives survive in the face of changing data or research frameworks? This book brings together a wide range of accounts and analyses of research work actually undertaken. Together they demonstrate the scope of the discipline through the breadth of subject-matter - for example social, industrial, urban - and the variety of approaches - for example humanist, quantitative, feminist. There is also a chapter on the important topic of publication - unpublished research being of little value. Anybody undertaking or contemplating research in human geography, whether for the first time or as an experienced worker, should find this book of interest. It is a practical guide to methodology, but more too: there are reflections on motivation, finance, publication, large and small-scale politics, and the other more "human" but equally crucial aspects of research across the discipline.
