- Summary:
- "The book outlines how the theoretical ideas, empirical foci, and methodological techniques of cultural geography make sense of the battlegrounds on which contemporary politics and society determines our opportunities, rights, and futures. By focusing on the notion of 'place', it showcases how this discipline can be used to understand how cultures define and form our spatial lives. It is the ideal text for students being introduced to the discipline through either undergraduate or postgraduate degree courses. The third edition is an important update to a highly successful text that incorporates a vast foundation of knowledge; it is an invaluable book for lecturers and students"-- Provided by publisher.
