Mapping Worlds

Social and cultural geography is practised by geographers from around the world. However for various reasons including language and publishing traditions knowledge of the research being undertaken can often remain confined to those working within those countries. This book draws together for the first time into one volume reports of social and cultural geography undertaken in several countries from around the world. It provides an important overview of geographic ideas and traditions and the history of human geography more generally allowing comparison between countries and details of key studies and references. As such the book will be of interest to geographers schooled in different national traditions and those interested in the production and history of geographic knowledge. Entries are written in both English and the countryâs own national language. . Language: English
