Modern geography has come a long way from its roots in simply mapping and naming the regions of the world. Spanning both physical and human geography, the discipline today bridges the divide between the sciences and humanities, and between the environment and our society. This book reveals how and why.
"Using wide-ranging examples from climate change and natural hazards to urbanization and ethnicity, this Very Short Introduction explains the concepts and methods used by geographers, and explores the current state of the subject. Looking at both its strengths and its controversies, the book's conclusion is no less than a manifesto for Geography's future."--BOOK JACKET.
