Swedish society has recurrently shown a keen geographical sense,
meticulously documenting all matters relating to environments,
resources and human activities through space and time from the
sixteenth century on. Throughout the twentieth century in
particular, Sweden won international acclaim for its groundbreaking
geographic work on spatial planning, climate change, time-space
modelling and landscape history by the likes of Ahlmann, De Geer,
Enequist, HAgerstrand, Kant, Olsson and William-Olsson. More
recently, with the rising tide of post modernity and multiple
processes of globalization, there has been a good deal of debate
about novel lines of enquiry into nature and culture, issues of
gender, identity and diversity, justice and environmental concern;
all of these have sparked a renewed interest in the history and
philosophy of the field. Following on from Anne Buttimer's renowned
Geography and the Human Spirit, this book not only offers the first
book length contextual account of the development of geographic
thought in Sweden, but also provides a narrative thread which
traces continuity and change in both cognitive styles and
professional practices of geography in general.
Offering a unique introduction to the study of justice in the
European, North American and Russian Arctic, this collection
considers the responsibilities and failures of justice for
environment and society in the region. Inspired by key thinkers in
justice, this book highlights the real and practical consequences
of postcolonial legacies, climate change and the regions’
incorporation into the international political economy. The
chapters feature liberal, cosmopolitan, feminist, as well as
critical justice perspectives from experts with decades of research
experience in the Arctic. Moving from a critique of current
failures, the collection champions a just and sustainable future
for Arctic development and governance.

Time-space relationships are central to human geography. This book
seeks to reanimate time-space, by considering the links between
lived experience, various temporalities and particular places in
terms of compounded and contested rhythms. Time-space rhythms
emphasize the practical, symbolic, everyday and embodied qualities
in the experience and making of our geographical environment.
Bringing together a team of renowned geographers who have been
exploring such ideas over the past decades, this book provides a
unique and varied set of geographical approximations to the
reanimation of place, nature and landscape, revealing a complex,
disputed world of politics, sensory experiences and representations
of space-time. Including case studies from Europe and North
America, the book addresses some important issues, ranging from the
symbolic orchestrations of landscape to deeply personal memories of
particular natural rhythms.
