About the Book
This book is a major collection of specially commissioned essays that explores the new human geography from a political economy perspective. Following two decades after the seminal Models in Geography, edited by Richard Chorley and Peter Haggett, this collection surveys recent trends in theory and provides bibliographic guides to the literature, focusing on key advances in geographical thought. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from cultural to economic and urban geography, examining the connections between political economy and geographical theory, with an emphasis on material production and social reproduction. This work is essential for students of geography and offers valuable insights into contemporary geographical thought for social scientists in general.
