Making Human Geography

"Subject Areas/Keywords: geographic theory, geographic thought, human geography, social sciences, social theory, spatial-quantitative revolution. This book cogently examines how human geography has developed from a field with limited self-awareness regarding method and theory to the vibrant study of society and space that it is today. Kevin R. Cox provides an interpretive, critical perspective on Anglo-American geographic thought in the 20th and 21st centuries.
