Thinking Geographically by Brendan Bartley
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.
Thinking Geographically offers students and faculty alike an elegant, concise, and thorough overview of contemporary theoretical concerns in geographyEasily accessible to those unfamiliar with social theory, this volume pushes the envelope of understanding by sketching the contours of post-structuralist spatial thought, including such critical emerging topics as geographies of text, the body, money, and globalisation. Brief biographies of influential theorists demonstrate how ideas are embodied and personified. This volume is highly useful for courses in human geography, the history and status of the discipline, and will stand as a milestone in the discipline's conceptual understanding over the next decade or more.
