Books in the Contemporary Foundations of Space and Place series

Brings together twenty-five of the influential articles published in the field of development geography since 1960. This volume looks at the origins of development geography and the debates between modernization theorists and radicals that took shape in the 1970s.

Spanning cultural and political ecology, the political economy of the environment, humanistic landscape interpretation, cultural studies of nature, and science and technology studies, this is a guide to environmental studies in Human Geography. It captures conceptual developments in the field for audiences within and beyond Geography.

Tackles the complex terrain of theory and methods, seeking to exemplify the major philosophical, social-theoretic and methodological developments - some with political and ethical implications - that have traversed human geography since the era of the 1960s when spatial science came to the fore.

The rural has long been regarded as an important site of geographical inquiry even if our understanding of it has not always been treated as conceptually different from the urban. This book contains three sections concerned with agriculture and food, the rural, and rural governance.
