Critical Human Geography 'CriticalHumanGeography'isaninternationalserieswhichprovides acritical examinationand extension oftheconcepts and consequen cesofwork in human geography and the allied social sciencesand humanities.Thevolumesarewrittenbyscholarscurrentlyengagedin substantive research, so that, wherever possible, the discussions are empirically grounded as well as theoretically informed. Existing studies and the traditions from which they derive are carefully des cribed and located intheir historically specificcontext, but the series atthesametimeintroducesand exploresnewideasand insightsfrom the human sciencesas a whole. The seriesis thus not intended as a collection of synthetic reviews,but rather as a cluster ofconsidered arguments whch are accessibleenough to engage geographers at all levelsin the development ofgeography. The seriestherefore reflects the continuing methodological and philosophical diversity of the subject, and itsbooksareunited only bytheir commoncommitment to the prosecution of a genuinely human geography.
