Beside Coastal or Oceanic/Marine Geography, there is little comprehensive material about the speciality of small island geography so far. It aims to bridge natural, social and cultural science perspectives.

This book appeals to researchers, students and scholars with an interest in the special characteristics in spatialities of islands. 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aGeology, Economic 606 $aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aPhysical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000 606 $aEconomic Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17010 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aGeology, Economic. 615 14$aWorld Regional Geography (Continents, Countries, Regions). 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aEconomic Geology. 676 $a910 700 $aRatter$b Beate M.W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0310162 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299414003321 996 $aGeography of Small Islands$92508000 997 $aUNINA
