Reseña del libro "Approaches to Human Geography (en Inglés)"
"The book covers some of the (traditionally) most obtuse and difficult-to-grasp philosophical ideas that have influenced geographers/geography. The fact that these are presented in an inclusive and accessible manner is a key strength. Many students have commented that the chapters they have read have encouraged them to read more in this field, which is fantastic from a lecturer's perspective."- Richard White, Sheffield Hallam UniversityA new edition of the classic Approaches text for students, organised in three sections, which overviews and explains the history and philosophy of Human Geographies in all its applications by those who practise it: Section One - Philosophies: Positivist Geography / Humanism / Feminist Geographies / Marx and the Spirit of Marx / Structuration Theory / Animal Geographies / Realism / Postmodern Geographies/ Poststructuralist Theories / Actor-Network Theory, / Postcolonialism / GeohumanitiesSection Two - People: Institutions and Cultures / Places and Contexts / Memories and Desires / Understanding Place / Personal and Political / Becoming a Geographer / Local and Global / Movement and Encounter / Spaces and FlowsSection Three - Practices: Mapping and Geovisualization / Quantification, Evidence and Positivism / Geographic Information Systems / Humanism / Activism / Feminist Geographies / Poststructuralist Theories / Psychoanalytical Frameworks / Environmental Inquiry / Contested Geographies and Culture WarsFully updated throughout and with eight brand new chapters - this is the core text for modules on history, theory, and practice in Human Geography.
