Approaches to Human Geography

"Key Approaches in Human Geography" is the essential student primer on theory and practice in Human Geography. It is a systematic review of the key ideas broken down into three sections - philosophies, people and practices, provides a clear explanation of the debates informing post-war geography, explaining how those ideas work in practice. Avoiding jargon, while attentive to the rigor and complexity of the ideas that underlie geographic knowledge, the text is written for students who have not met philosophical or theoretical approaches before. This is a beginning guide to geographic research and practice.
