This unique Companion showcases the importance of valleys and their
socio-economic, physical and cultural landscapes across three
continents. Expert scholars in the field offer a broad range of
disciplinary perspectives on the topic, discussing key historical
and contemporary issues governing and transforming valleys.
Exploring the impact of economic and spatial justice, and
environmental and climate change issues on valleys, the Companion
also studies key topics including lifestyle placemaking, the rise
of inequalities within and across valleys, and alternate
representations of this under-studied geographical feature.
Highlighting some lesser-known valleys across Europe and North and
South America, chapters provide in-depth reviews of experiencing,
living in and growing up in valleys, and how internal and external
factors shape each valley’s characteristics. The Elgar Companion
to Valleys is an excellent resource for academics and scholars in
the fields of geography, and environmental studies, as well as
anthropology and sociology. Using original empirical data to tackle
emerging theoretical issues, researchers interested in the changing
internal configurations of valleys and under what conditions those
changes take place will find this Companion illuminating and
insightful.
