Key Concepts in Historical Geography [EPUB ebook] 

Ondersteuning

‘This ambitious volume reviews the best recent work in historical geography… It demonstrates how a dual sense of history and geography is necessary to understand such key areas of contemporary debate as the inter-relationship between class, race and gender; the character of nations and nationalism; the nature and challenges of urban life; the legacies of colonialism; and the meaning and values attributed to places, landscapes and environments.’
– Mike Heffernan, University of Nottingham
