The 1990s saw geography transformed by an astonishing range of cultural and philosophical concepts and approaches. This book is designed for students as an accessible introduction to this landscape of geographical ideas. It takes the reader through the history of geographic thought up to a survey of the present. Contemporary theory is then used to explore real world issues drawn from across the discipline of social, cultural, political and economic geography. With examples and profiles of key theorists, the book is designed as an introduction for any student who wants to discover the potential of thinking geographically.
