This book presents the full range of this remarkable field, presenting
nearly 300 pertinent models, concepts, theories, and people associated
with human geography. It is the first encyclopedia devoted exclusively
to human geography and will be an indispensable guide for high school
students taking AP Human Geography, a useful supplement to college
texts, and a valuable guide for researchers. AP Human Geography is a
new offering in many high schools, and the entries in this encyclopedia
were selected with input from AP teachers of the subject. The entries
reach back to the ancient Greeks, such as Herodotus, and also cover
current manmade crises, such as urban sprawl. Suggested readings, a
selected bibliography, and photos complement the text.
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.
The book is written for students who need help doing their coursework and exams. It focuses on the skills and techniques that apply to essay writing and also covers other types of assignment such as posters, talks, PowerPoint presentations and web pages.
"How to do your Essays, Exams and Coursework in Geography and Related Disciplines" is written primarily for students taking courses in geography, but the principles that we emphasize apply equally to coursework and exams in many other subjects.
Encyclopedia Of Human Geography Human geography in the last decade has undergone a
conceptual and methodological renaissance that transformed it into one of the
most dynamic and innovative of the social sciences. Long a borrower of ideas
from other disciplines, geography has become a contributor in its own right,
and a “spatial turn” is evident in disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology,
and Literary Criticism.
With more than 300 entries written by an international team of leading
authorities in the field, the
Encyclopedia of Human Geography
offers a comprehensive overview of the major ideas, concepts, terms, and
approaches that characterize a notoriously diverse field. This
multidisciplinary volume provides cross-cultural coverage of human geography as
it is understood in the contemporary world and takes into account the enormous
conceptual changes that have evolved since the 1970s, including a variety of
social constructivist approaches.
