Thinking Geographically: Space, Theory and Contemporary Human Geography (Continuum Collection) by Brendan Bartley

by Phil Hubbard

This text is a reprint of Hubbard (geography, U. of Loughborough, UK), Kitchin, Bartley (both geography, National U. of Ireland, Maynooth), and Fuller's (geography, U. of Northumbria, Newcastle, UK) 2002 text, written to demonstrate to undergraduate geography students why addressing theory is important by showing how it shapes the production of geographical knowledge. Coverage includes an overview of the role of theory and the different theoretical traditions in human geography, followed by chapters illustrating how different theoretical approaches have informed the study of five concepts—the body, text, money, governance, and globalization—which are at the heart of economic, social, cultural, and political geography.
