Abstract:

"The volume starts by charting the most significant changes in cultural geography in the twentieth century before going on to introduce the principal approaches animating work in the field today. These theoretical approaches are then grounded in a series of essays on the major thematic area to which cultural geographers have contributed - nature, identity, landscape, colonialism, and post-colonialism." "The Companion will be a valuable resource not just for geographers but also for those working in allied fields who seek a clear understanding of the contribution that geography is making to cross-disciplinary debates."--BOOK JACKET.
