An innovative introduction to Human Geography, exploring different
ways of studying the relationships between people and place, and
putting people at the centre of human geography. The book covers
behavioural, humanistic and cultural traditions, showing how these
can lead to a nuanced understanding of how we relate to our
surroundings on a day-to-day basis. The authors also explore how
human geography is currently influenced by 'postmodern' ideas
stressing difference and diversity. While taking the importance of
these different approaches seriously as ways of thinking about the
role of place in peoples' everyday lives, the book also tries to
encapsulate what has been so vibrant and exciting about human
geography over the last couple of decades. By using examples to
which students can relate - such as how they imagine and represent
their home, the way they avoid certain spaces, how they move
through retail spaces, where they choose to go to university, how
they use the Internet, how they represent other nations and so on -
the authors show how geography shapes everyday life in a manner
that is seemingly mundane yet profoundly important.
