Four introductory chapters, on different intellectual traditions in geography, situate and introduce the entries on the key concepts.Each entry comprises: A short definition; a summary of the principal arguments; a substantive 5,000-word discussion; use of real-life examples; and, annotated notes for further reading. Written in an accessible way - by established figures in the discipline - the definitions provide thorough explanations of key geographical concepts.
