"This is an entertaining, enlightening, challenging book. If you anticipate that it is just another compendium of classics in geography, think again. This book is an engaging combination of substance and opinion, proof of the vitality of geography and its relevance to current events. It is a winning combination. This is a book not just to be read, but to be mined, for the nuggets are many and surprises abound."
Harm de Blij, Michigan State University

"This reader is comprehensive and thoughtfully organized, providing a central place for some of the most accessible and provocative pieces on human geography today. By including the range of contemporary conceptual concerns and highly accessible empirical material it invites student engagement in an array of exciting disciplinary conversations."
Sallie A. Marston, University of Arizona
