An innovative contribution to the literature of cultural geography,
this book explores the evolution of landscape--both material and
symbolic--from the standpoint of the populations, cultures, and
human decision-making processes that shape and give it meaning.
Focusing on evolution, behavior, symbolism, and ecology, Norton
offers a critique of the literature of cultural and social
geography and articulates a framework of central issues that
connect a wide range of theoretical approaches. In the first four
chapters, Norton gives detailed consideration to both traditional
and contemporary literature and methodologies and to the links
between cultural geography and other social science concepts and
analytical methods. The remaining chapters are concerned with the
causes and consequences of cultural landscape evolution and the
variables affecting it, including language, religion, politics,
society, economy, and the physical environment. In addressing these
areas of cultural geography, Norton promotes an approach that
integrates the contributions of geography with those of
anthropology, sociology, psychology, and history. His analysis
provides a useful synthesis of the conceptual and empirical content
of cultural geography and suggests promising new directions for
research in the field. Norton's work will prove a valuable
classroom and library resource for students and scholars in
cultural and social geography and related areas of sociology and
anthropology.
