A refreshingly innovative approach to charting geographical
knowledge. A wide range of authors trace the social construction
and contestation of geographical ideas through the sites of their
production and their relational geographies of engagement. This
creative and comprehensive book offers an extremely valuable tool
to professionals and students alike. - Victoria Lawson, University
of Washington "A Handbook that recasts geograph's history in
original, thought-provoking ways. Eschewing the usual chronological
march through leading figures and big ideas, it looks at geography
against the backdrop of the places and institutional contexts where
it has been produced, and the social-cum-intellectual currents
underlying some of its most important concepts." - Alexander B.
Murphy, University of Oregon The SAGE Handbook of Geographical
Knowledge is a critical inquiry into how geography as a field of
knowledge has been produced, re-produced, and re-imagined. It
comprises three sections on geographical orientations, geography's
venues, and critical geographical concepts and controversies. The
first provides an overview of the genealogy of "geography". The
second highlights the types of spatial settings and locations in
which geographical knowledge has been produced. The third focuses
on venues of primary importance in the historical geography of
geographical thought. Orientations includes chapters on: Geography
- the Genealogy of a Term; Geography's Narratives and Intellectual
History Geography's Venues includes chapters on: Field; Laboratory;
Observatory; Archive; Centre of Calculation; Mission Station;
Battlefield; Museum; Public Sphere; Subaltern Space; Financial
Space; Art Studio; Botanical/Zoological Gardens; Learned Societies
Critical concepts and controversies - includes chapters on:
Environmental Determinism; Region; Place; Nature and Culture;
Development; Conservation; Geopolitics; Landscape; Time; Cycle of
Erosion; Time; Gender; Race/Ethnicity; Social Class; Spatial
Analysis; Glaciation; Ice Ages; Map; Climate Change; Urban/Rural.
Comprehensive without claiming to be encyclopedic, textured and
nuanced, this Handbook will be a key resource for all researchers
with an interest in the pasts, presents and futures of geography.
