"The editors have been ambitious in their intentions and ... Have met their aims handsomely." (Progress in Human Geography, April 2009)
"A relatively good spread of world regions is covered in the remaining chapters of the book.... 'Geography, Culture and Prosperity' by Oppenheimer is particularly interesting. I am sure these abbreviated chapters will appeal to many undergraduate students." (South African Geographical Journal, 2008)
"What is remarkable about this book is its suitability both as an introductory text and companion reader for first, second and third year undergraduate students of human geography… It should capture students’ imagination or sense of wonder while simultaneously helping them to engage in critical thinking… Highly recommended." (Geographical Research: Journal of the Institute of Australian Geographers)“Pieces are well contextualized and work effectively together ….This title would be appropriate to all levels of undergraduate study.” (Times Higher Education Supplement)
