Reviews of the previous edition:
"A wonderfully rich and invigorating mapping of late modern
geographies; essential reading for anyone striving to understand
the complexity and diversity of the contemporary world at the end
of the twentieth century - Geographies of Global Change is clearly
written, rigorously argued, and gripping reading. It redefines what
we mean by a "textbook" and sets new standards for teachers and
students alike." John Pickles, Professor of Geography, University
of Kentucky.
"This book is a remarkably coherent collection and altogether a
significant accomplishment. It is notable for the high standards
achieved by the individual contributions and also for the
contemporary relevances of the arguments marshalled. Accessible and
informative, it should be indispensable reading for every geography
major. Teachers will enjoy using it. Editors and authors alike are
to congratulated on an impressive achievement." Kevin R Cox,
Professor of Geography, The Ohio State University.
"There is no better text for helping to grasp the breadth of
issues implied by global change, and for getting a sense of what
needs to be done." Neil Smith, Professor of Geography, Rutgers
University.
Second edition-
"This is an excellent collection which more than maintains the
high standards of the first edition... has been expanded and
revised to take into account changes over the last six years,
changes that are substantive in character, as well as changes in
emphasis in the ongoing and broader debate about globalization.
Always clear in its arguments, it takes the fertile theme of
globalization in all its variety of expression, to demonstrate the
many and nuanced ways in which geography matters. It will appeal
particularly to undergraduates but it is a book from which we can
all learn something." Kevin Cox, Ohio State University
