Unifying Geography - Common Heritage, Shared Future (Paperback, New)

It can be argued that the differences in content and approach between physical and human geography, and also within its sub-disciplines, are often overemphasized. The result is that geography is often seen as a diverse and dynamic subject, but also as a disorganized and fragmenting one, without a focus. "Unifying Geography" focuses on the plural and competing versions of unity that characterize the discipline, which give it cohesion and differentiate it from related fields of knowledge. Each of the chapters is co-authored by both a leading physical and a human geographer, on the nature of geography. Themes identified include those of the traditional core as well as new and developing topics that are based on subject matter, concepts, methodology, theory, techniques and applications. Through its identification of unifying themes, the book will provide students with a meaningful framework through which to understand the nature of the geographical discipline.
