Space and nature have long been the concerns of human geography,
bound up with a strong sense of the importance of place.
Understanding how society changes entails understanding the
geography of social change. In this new reader, the editors argue
for a new way of looking at the relationship between society and
its spatial organization, between society and nature, and between
the interdependence and unique character of places. First, through
a selection of material ranging from the changing geography of
class cultures, gender relations, city structures, state power to
the processes of international law, the readings demonstrate that
neither space nor society can be understood independently of the
other. Social change involves spatial change and spatial change
affects social organization. The two sides of the relation mediate
a geography of change. Second, a number of the articles explore the
relation between society and nature, and demonstrate that that, too
involves a continuous and changing interrelationship. Nature cannot
be understood outside of its social interpretation and use; equally
nature, the environment, has an impact upon the quality and future
of our lives. Third, this collection presents an approach to the
geography of place which has methodological implications for all
those in social science who are concerned with the central problem
of appreciating the of outcomes without losing sight of general
processes of chance. To grasp the dynamic relation between society,
space and nature is important not only for human geography, but for
all the social sciences. Geography Matters! brings together a wide
range of articles, from both geographers and non-geographers. It
addresses a series of economic, political and cultural issues from
a geographical angle that will put the social distinctiveness of
place back on the agenda for all the social sciences.
