Methods and techniques in human geography - Guy M. Robinson

The study of Human Geography has changed. From the quantitative revolution of the 1960s to the recent ‘cultural turn’,new theories, approaches, methodologies and arguments have completely remapped the discipline of Geography. Methods and Techniques in Human Geography provides the fullest available introduction and assessment of these changes in both quantitative and qualitative Geography. Clearly, concisely and generously written, Methods and Techniques in Human Geography will become the students’ companion to one of the most widely misunderstood, contested and fascinating areas of Human Geography.
