内容简介
"Nevertheless, the author has reduced what is complex to a very readable level that will be of utility to students of geography and the history of science. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." ("Choice", 1 October 2013 )
“Cresswell’s introduction to Geographic Thought is everything such a book should be: open and honest, wise and witty, accessible and engaging. Offering an intelligent guide to the history of geographical theory, Cresswell’s thinking is consistently clear, concise and critical. Bold in its conception and sure of its grasp of this rich and contested intellectual terrain, the book shows the value of geographical ideas in coming to terms with our common humanity and examining our place in the world.” — Peter Jackson, University of Sheffield “Geographic thinking has become a many–splendoured thing, unable to be capture d by conventional bounds. But Tim Cresswell does the best job of anybody so far in giving it shape and direction. Publishers always write that this or that book is indispensable but this one really is.” — Nigel Thrift, University of Warwick
From the Back Cover
This engaging and accessible introduction to geographic thought e xplore s the major thinkers and key theoretical developments in the field of human geography. Broad in scope, it traces the evolution of the discipline from its origins in classical thought to the most cutting edge theoretical discourses such as non–representational theory. By exploring theoretical underpinnings and current methodologies, Geographic Thought offers thought–provoking insights into a profound discipline concerned with the myriad relationships between people and the inhabited earth. Themes and topics encountered along the way include the influence of Darwin and Marx, the emergence of anarchist geographies, the impact of feminism, and myriad other important bodies of thought. Readers are not only introduced to key developments in geographical theory, but are exposed to the case for geography as a profound body of ideas that impacts all aspects of our live s – from showing us how to lead a good life to revealing ways to think about inequality and justice.
