The Changing Worlds of Geography: A Critical Guide to Concepts and Methods

by James H. Bird

This guide will be invaluable to students of geography in higher education, all of whom are required to know something of the philosophy and methodology of their subject. Two new sections have been added as appendices to the ext of the hardback edition to update themes which are dealt with in the main body of the text. In the first, Professor Bird explores the recent debate about Richard Rorty's work that develops the philosophical discussion about the real world; while in the second, the recent interest shown by geographers in relativism and post-modernism is explored.
