Bringing together many of the leading human geographers from around
the English-speaking world, Envisioning Human Geographies offers a
series of personal visions for the future of human geography. The
result is a vigorous and far-sighted debate about what human
geography could and should be concerned with in the twenty-first
century. The individual contributors develop their arguments to
address the shape and direction of human geographies, with each
chapter looking forward and envisioning an intellectual future for
the subject. The result is a set of powerful statements written
around the themes of: A*space A*nature A*enclosure
A*political-economy A*non-representation A*post-colonialism
A*feminism A*post-structuralism A*computation A*morality
A*spirituality A*activism. The statements are tied via an
introduction that discusses the ideological, academic and aesthetic
prompts that fire the human geographical imagination. Envisioning
Human Geographies maps out important new territories of enquiry for
human geography, and is essential reading for all students studying
the nature and philosophy of the subject.

Biological Science: Exploring the Science of Life, Biomedical
Edition responds to the key needs of lecturers and their students
by placing a clear central narrative, carefully-structured active
learning, and confidence with quantitative concepts and scientific
enquiry central to its approach. With coverage tailored to the
needs of biomedical, medical, and neuroscience students, and with
an approach that fully supports flexible, self-paced learning, it
will set you on a path towards a deeper understanding of the key
concepts in biology, and a greater appreciation of biology as a
dynamic experimental science. Written by a team of dedicated and
passionate academics, and shaped by feedback from over 55
institutions, its straightforward narrative, reinforced by key
concept overview videos for every chapter, communicate key ideas
clearly: the right information is provided at the right time, and
at the right depth. Its pause and think features, self-check
quizzes, and graded end of chapter questions, augmented by
flashcards of key terms, directly support active learning. The
combination of narrative text and learning features promote a rich,
active learning experience: read, watch, and do. Its combination of
Quantitative Toolkits, Scientific Process panels, and the Life and
its Exploration chapters provide more insight and support than any
other general biology text; they prepare students to engage with
this quantitative and experimental discipline with confidence, and
set them on a path for success throughout their future studies.

Mark has an unusual history. After losing his hearing as an
eighteen-month-old infant, the next six years were silent as he
honed his way of watching. Wandering Africa and Asia as a teenager
and being adopted by nomadic tribes opened his eyes to the cultural
nuances of different lands and peoples. Mannership is an enquiry
into origins of self-destruction which is uniquely human, focusing
on 3 questions: How does an individual mind become 'poisoned' by a
self-destructive tendency? How is the poison hidden, and harboured,
in a part of the mind which is 'out of reach' so we cannot simply
'deal' with it? How did our environment or culture develop in such
a way that this 'poison' became thrust so deep into our children's
minds? From the teachings of indigenous Shamans to the lessons
taught by animals, Mark connects observations from his journeys to
read like magical adventures while seeking an elusive source of
self-destruction.
Introducing Human Geographies is the leading guide to human
geography for undergraduate students, explaining new thinking on
essential topics and discussing exciting developments in the field.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and
coverage is extended with new sections devoted to biogeographies,
cartographies, mobilities, non-representational geographies,
population geographies, public geographies and securities.
Presented in three parts with 60 contributions written by expert
international researchers, this text addresses the central ideas
through which human geographers understand and shape their subject.
Part I: Foundations engages students with key ideas that define
human geography's subject matter and approaches, through critical
analyses of dualisms such as local-global, society-space and
human-nonhuman. Part II: Themes explores human geography's main
sub-disciplines, with sections devoted to biogeographies,
cartographies, cultural geographies, development geographies,
economic geographies, environmental geographies, historical
geographies, political geographies, population geographies, social
geographies, urban and rural geographies. Finally, Part III:
Horizons assesses the latest research in innovative areas, from
mobilities and securities to non-representational geographies. This
comprehensive, stimulating and cutting edge introduction to the
field is richly illustrated throughout with full colour figures,
maps and photos. These are available to download on the companion
website, located at www.routledge.com/9781444135350.
