Reviews
"It can take the reader far into the discipline, helping the beginning student to gain a foothold and guiding the researcher toward the more technical literature of geography. General adult readers interested in the topic will also find much of value in this work, which would be most suited to an academic library′s geography collection or a large public library with a strong interest in geography."--Sarah Watstein (1/4/2007 12:00:00 AM)
"The Encyclopedia of Human Geography provides a scholarly and intellectually challenging overview of the topic, as well as specific explanations of the linkage between geography and social, economic, and political issues. Larger academic libraries that support classes in geography will want to add it to their list."--Against the Grain (2/12/2007 12:00:00 AM)
"This work is very well indexed. It includes contemporary ideas, theories, and topics at the expense of older standards, such as central place theory. It would be a most desirable addition to collections supporting graduate programs."--D. Liestman (2/12/2007 12:00:00 AM)
