Human geography is a diverse and vibrant subject. It aims to understand human occupancy of the earth's surface: the places created, boundaries constructed, environments altered, and connections made by people as they seek to meet their various needs and wants. Because of its high intellectual ambition, human geography is a broad and plural subject in which a wide range of research is undertaken. Making sense of the field can be challenging, even for seasoned practitioners. This four-part, five volume collection provides a map for anyone seeking to reconnoitre the landscape of human geography today. Focusing mostly on Anglophone contributions, it begins with a discussion of the histories and philosophies of geographical knowledge and continues through to the central concerns of the discipline: space (in relation to productions, practices and performances), and nature (in relation to distinctions between 'culture' and 'nature'). Part One: Histories, Philosophies and Politics Part Two: Theories, Methods and Practices Part Three: Space, Place and Landscape Part Four: Nature, Environment and the Non-Human
