A Modern Dictionary of Geography

Small and Witherick's highly successful dictionary has already, in its first three editions, proved its value as a comprehensive guide to the key principles, concepts, and terminology of contemporary geography. This new, accessible edition reflects developments in the discipline since 1995. Covering both human and physical geography, this dictionary is an essential reference for undergraduate geography students.

This expanded edition reflects advances in the discipline in recent years. Numerous new entries have been added, a significant proportion of which relate to the critical interface between human and physical considerations. Contains over 2,000 carefully selected terms, each with a detailed definition and explanation. The extensive cross-referencing system enables readers to easily identify associated words. Enhanced by 125 relevant illustrations.
