Sommario/riassunto

A Companion to Environmental Geography is the first book to comprehensively and systematically map the research frontier of 'human-environment geography' in an accessible and comprehensive way.Cross-cuts several areas of a discipline which has traditionally been seen as divided; presenting work by human and physical geographers in the same volumePresents both the current 'state of the art' research and charts future possibilities for the disciplineExtends the term 'environmental geography' beyond its 'traditional' meanings to include new work on nature and environment by
