"Provides sufficient material to provoke informed discussion and prompt further inquiry ." -- Pamela Shurmersmith "Human geography has long needed a survey of conceptual issues suitable for student use. This is it. Sixteen essays offer insightful, sometimes brilliant, introductions to conceptual controversies and differences that both divide and unite the field." --John Agnew, Syracuse University "A stimulating and accessible set of essays." --Peter J. Hugill, Texas A&M University "The discipline is well-served by such a creative and thoughtful series in perspective on substance and method in human geography." --Christopher L.

Salter, University of Missouri, Columbia "These carefully chosen essays help explain the contemporary vitality and diversity of geographic thought." --John Paul Jones, University of Kentucky "A useful contribution to the literature, particularly because it is one of the more accessible approaches to many of geography's ongoing intellectual debates. It is cleanly produced, well referenced via chapter-end bibliographies, and nicely indexed." -- Choice Reviews.
