This volume provides a critical response to the COVID-19 pandemic
showcasing the full range of issues and perspectives that the
discipline of geography can expose and bring to the table, not only
to this specific event, but to others like it that might occur in
future. Comprised of almost 60 short (2500 word) easy to read
chapters, the collection provides numerous theoretical, empirical
and methodological entry points to understanding the ways in which
space, place and other geographical phenomenon are implicated in
the crisis. Although falling under a health geography book series,
the book explores the centrality and importance of a full range of
biological, material, social, cultural, economic, urban, rural and
other geographies. Hence the book bridges fields of study and
sub-disciplines that are often regarded as separate worlds,
demonstrating the potential for future collaboration and
cross-disciplinary inquiry. Indeed book articulates a diverse but
ultimately fulsome and multiscalar geographical approach to the
major health challenge of our time, bringing different types of
scholarship together with common purpose. The intended audience
ranges from senior undergraduate students and graduate students to
professional academics in geography and a host of related
disciplines. These scholars might be interested in COVID-19
specifically or in the book's broad disciplinary approach to
infectious disease more generally. The book will also be helpful to
policy-makers at various levels in formulating responses, and to
general readers interested in learning about the COVID-19 crisis.
