A Companion to Environmental Geography cover

A Companion to Environmental Geography is the first book to comprehensively and systematically map the research frontier of 'human-environment geography' in an accessible and comprehensive way.

  • Cross-cuts several areas of a discipline which has traditionally been seen as divided; presenting work by human and physical geographers in the same volume
  • Presents both the current 'state of the art' research and charts future possibilities for the discipline
  • Extends the term 'environmental geography' beyond its 'traditional' meanings to include new work on nature and environment by human and physical geographers - not just hazards, resources, and conservation geographers
  • Contains essays from an outstanding group of international contributors from among established scholars and rising stars in geography

"A Companion to Environmental Geography will likely become a landmark, not only for having put forward the basics of a potentially emergent subfield in geography but also because of its contribution to the development of an agenda for geography at large, concerning both the conversation across the divide and geography's current entanglements with other scientific fields." (Geographical Review, 1 January 2012)

"All of the chapters have detailed bibliographies, and the index provides comprehensive cross-listings." (Choice, 1 February 2010)

"Well considered, written and presented. A timely addition to Wiley-Blackwell's Companion series." (Progress in Psychical Geography, September 2009)
