Geographies of Nature: Societies, Environments, Ecologies (PDF)
by Steve Hinchliffe'Steve Hinchliffe has produced an exemplary introduction to cutting edge work on the geographies of nature. Intellectually demanding, clearly written and empirically rich, this is a book that deserves a wide readership within and beyond the Geographical discipline' - Sarah J. Whatmore, Professor of Environment and Public Policy, Director International Graduate School, Oxford University Centre for the Environment. Geographies of Nature introduces readers to conventional understandings of nature - realist, environmental, constructivist - while examining alternative accounts from different disciplines - where nature resists easy classification. Accessibly written, organized in 10 chapters in two sections, Geographies of Nature demonstrates how recent thinking has urgent relevance and impact on the ways in which we approach environmental problems. The text: nbsp; makes concepts like 'environment', 'conservation', and 'sustainability' accessible and applicable to readers' own experience with the extensive use of case studiesnbsp; uses text boxes to introduce readers to debates and ideas in ways that make them more easily understoodnbsp; grounds the reader and proceeds to the explanation of more complex arguments progressively. Geographies of Nature presents a new kind of environmental analysis, one that refuses to view nature as wholly separate to the human and nonhuman practices through which it is constantly made and remade.

Politics and Practice in Economic Geography (PDF)
by Jamie Peck Trevor Barnes Adam Tickell Eric Sheppard'Fortunately, to the benefit of students young and old, the reflexive ruminations contained between these covers are fresh, penetrating, honest, personal and, at times, poignant. They are sure to stimulate a long-overdue reawakening of interest in methodological choice and its consequences in economic geography. In doing so, the contributors to this volume have performed an incredibly valuable service on behalf of economic geographers everywhere' - Professor Meric S. Gertler, University of Toronto, Canada. 'The biggest strength of the book is its pedagogic design, which will appeal to new entrants in the field but also leaves space for methodological debates. It is well suited for use on general courses but it also involves far more than an introduction and is full of theoretical insights for a more theoretically advanced audience' - Economic Geography Research Group. In the last fifteen years economic geography has experienced a number of fundamental theoretical and methodological shifts. Politics and Practice in Economic Geography explains and interrogates these fundamental issues of research practice in the discipline. Concerned with examining the methodological challenges associated with that 'cultural turn', the text explains and discusses: qualitative and ethnographic methodologies; the role and significance of quantitative and numerical methods; the methodological implications of both post-structural and feminist theories; the use of case-study approaches; the methodological relation between the economic geography other disciplines like neoclassical economics, economic sociology, and economic anthropology. Leading contributors examine substantive methodological issues in economic geography and make a distinctive contribution to economic-geographical debate and practice. This will be an essential primer for all students of economic geography, as well as human geography more generally.

There are vertical bars indicating average monthly rainfall and a thick dashed line going across the page showing the average monthly temperature. On the left of the page is a vertical scale marked in degrees Centigrade starting from zero at the bottom. It is marked at every five degrees and labelled at every ten degrees. Running right across the page are fine horizontal grid lines. The thick dashed line representing the temperature can be found at the bottom left of the page sloping up and down to right. Across the bottom of the page are twelve labelled vertical bars showing the rainfall for each month of the year, starting with January on the left. To allow sufficient space, the braille labels are uncapitalised. At the far right of the page is a vertical scale of precipitation in millimetres, starting with zero at the bottom. This is marked every 25 mm and labelled every 50 mm.
