Beskrivning
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringHuman geography offers answers to some of the most important challenges of our time. To understand contemporary struggles over global economic inequality, forced migration, racial injustice, gender justice, and the climate crisis, we must grasp the ways in which these are fought over and through space. Human Geography, A Very Short Introduction by Patricia Daley and Ian Klinke explains how the subject can aid a better knowledge of the modern world. It examines the formation of power systems and the ways in which they have been constructed, subverted, and resisted over time. This Very Short Introduction explores the topic through seven spaces that define the present: the colony, the pipeline, the border, the high rise, the workplace, the conservation area, and outer space. In addition, the authors take a critical view of the discipline and its history, but argue for its continuing vitality.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Recensioner i media

This fresh and accessible introduction to human geography is a welcome contrast to the plethora of human geography texts for undergraduates in geography and across the natural sciences, particularly those seeking a contemporary introduction to the discipline and an overview of the myriad spatial interrelationships that pervade present-day global issues. An excellent addition to the classroom and the broader geography bookshelf. ... Highly Recommended.
