9781412903691: Human Geography

Synopsis

This four-volume set begins with a discussion of the histories and geographies of geographical knowledge. While human geography's succession of "theoretical turns" is important in understanding the discipline, this work also demonstrates the multiple, textured ways in which geography explains how we represent ourselves and others. Volumes III and IV focus on the central concerns of the discipline: Space (in relation to productions, practices and performances) and Nature (in relation to distinctions between "culture" and "nature").
