Geographic Thought: A Critical Introduction

The last decade has seen a surge in publication of edited works variously described as handbooks, companions, or encyclopedias that address subfields of geography. Commonly 600 pages or more in length, they offer overviews for researchers and advanced graduate students. At the other end of the spectrum are introductory textbooks for undergraduates. Cresswell’s book is aimed toward audiences between these two levels—for advanced undergraduate students. It is one in a series that the publisher describes as designed for the North American and international markets, written in a lively and accessible style. As a reviewer, I have tried to place myself as if I were within those audiences.
