"This book clearly outlines key concepts that all geographers should readily be able to explain.

It does so in a highly accessible way. It is likely to be a text that my students will return to throughout their degree."- Dr Karen Parkhill, Bangor University"The editors have done a fantastic job.

This second edition is really accessible to the student and provides the key literature in the key geographical terms of scale, space, time, place and landscape."- Dr Elias Symeonakis, Manchester Metropolitan University"An excellent introductory text for accessible overviews of key concepts across human and physical geography."- Professor Patrick Devine-Wright, Exeter UniversityIncluding ten new chapters on nature, globalization, development and risk, and a new section on practicing geography, this is a completely revised and updated edition of the best-selling, standard student resource. Key Concepts in Geography explains the key terms - space, time, place, scale, landscape - that define the language of geography.

It is unique in the reference literature as it provides in one volume concepts from both human geography and physical geography.

Four introductory chapters on different intellectual traditions in geography situate and introduce the entries on the key concepts.

Each entry then comprises a short definition, a summary of the principal arguments, a substantive 5,000-word discussion, the use of real-life examples, and annotated notes for further reading.

Written in an accessible way by established figures in the discipline, the definitions provide thorough explanations of all the core concepts that undergraduates of geography must understand to complete their degree.
