Description
Focusing on post-positive geography, 'Reading Human Geography' makes available in a single volume some of the key texts that have informed its contemporary thought and practice. The readings include some of the most important contributions by geographers to conceptual and methodological debates during the last fifteen years. Paying special attention to writings by human geographers rather than philosophers and other social scientists makes the collection unusually accessible to undergraduates unfamiliar with other vocabularies and other concerns. Editorial introductions to each section draw attention to connections inside and outside the discipline; they provide both a context for and a summary of the essays that follow, together with a detailed bibliography and suggestions for further reading. There is also a glossary and an index.
