Book Synopsis Geography in the 21st Century by : Jayson J. Funke
Download or read book Geography in the 21st Century written by Jayson J. Funke and published by . This book was released on 2025-01-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geography studies the relationship of humans and the natural environment, and these 40 essays examine those geographical events that have most profoundly shaped global society in the opening decades of the 21st century. Explore how these events have transformed how people interact with the environment, from political and economic issues such as elections, market practices, and war, to cultural and social issues such as racism and gender stereotyping at work. Landscapes, regions, cities, nature, society, development – our entire existence – is tied up with space and geography, and thus geography is well-placed to provide important insights and perspectives on the complex events and issues of our time. Geography in the 21st Century studies the world’s rapidly changing environments and its shifting economic, political, and cultural landscapes. The entries address social, political, economic, and environmental events – from the Arab Spring Movements to the Mexico border crisis in the USA – that are often complex, transnational, and interrelated. Clear explanations help readers understand the historical and geographical continuity and confluence that underlie these defining moments. All chapters follow the same structure to provide consistency throughout and allow students to compare multiple events. Each begins with an overview of the event; followed by a background section that describes the historical and geographic context within which the event occurred; then a section on social, political, economic, and environmental Impacts that describes the results of the event; and a section that analyzes the event from a spatial or geographic perspective and explains why it is important. Each chapter also includes a list of Key Players (e.g. countries, individuals, and political organizations), a list of references and sources for further reading; and a sidebar on a related topic.

Book Synopsis Geographical Fieldwork in the 21st Century by : Kendra McSweeney
Download or read book Geographical Fieldwork in the 21st Century written by Kendra McSweeney and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fieldwork is a hallmark of geographical scholarship, encompassing all the approaches by which we learn first-hand about the world. Too often, though, fieldwork details—the challenges, the failures, and methodological mash-up used—are left out of geographers’ published work. This accessible collection brings together 18 of those too-often overlooked stories, and reveals the ongoing vibrancy of geographical fieldwork today. The 32 authors span many of geography’s subfields, and their work incorporates multiple methodological traditions: ethnographic, digital, archival, mixed, and more. With short, readable contributions, Geographical Fieldwork in the 21st Century offers an ideal resource for students across the social sciences who are wrangling with the process of fieldwork. It shows fieldwork’s core attributes—innovation, commitment, and serendipity—are alive and well. But this collection also illustrates just how fieldwork is changing as our ability to learn about the world is shaped by new pressures of the 21st century neoliberal academy, by the proliferation of new technologies, and by the growing social demand for collaborative, engaged, and ethical scholarship. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Geographical Review.
Download or read book Human Geography written by and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Human Geography' examines the major trends, debates, research and conceptual evolution of human geography during the twentieth century. Considering each of the subject's primary subfields in turn, it addresses developments in both continental European and Anglo-American geography, providing a cutting-edge evaluation of each. Written clearly and accessibly by leading researchers, the book combines historical astuteness with personal insights and draws on a range of theoretical positions. A central theme of the book is the relative decline of the traditional subdisciplines towards the end of the twentieth century, and the continuing movement towards interdisciplinarity in which the various strands of human geography are seen as inextricably linked. This stimulating and exciting new book provides a unique insight into the study of geography during the twentieth century, and is essential reading for anyone studying the history and philosophy of the subject.

Book Synopsis Geographies of Development in the 21st Century by : Sylvia H. Chant
Download or read book Geographies of Development in the 21st Century written by Sylvia H. Chant and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an excellent book and should prove to be a valuable text for geography and development studies students. Hedley Knibbs, Geography Geographies of Development in the 21st Century provides a very accessible and comprehensive account of a broad spectrum of key contemporary issues of concern to geographers and development studies specialists the world over. I am sure that this excellent volume will be widely read and appreciated. Professor Andrea Cornwall, University of Sussex, UK Uneven, contradictory and complex is how Sylvia Chant and Cathy McIlwaine describe the processes of development that constitute the subject of this distinctive and lively introductory text. Seeking to comprehend, let alone portray with any degree of accuracy, the burden of these three adjectives with reference to the sheer diversity within what is sometimes called the majority world is a daunting challenge. Chant and McIlwaine draw on their first-hand experience on the ground in several countries spread across all the major continents of the global South, stretching well beyond conventional academic research into NGOs, social movements and major international agencies. Students will find the blend of accessibly written broad survey and case study very helpful. In addition to lists of important websites, further reading and learning outcomes, the text is interspersed with focused activities to foster active learning. Professor David Simon, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Written by two widely published academics with many years experience in university teaching, research and consultancy, Geographies of Development in the 21st Century provides a concise yet informative introduction to development in the contemporary Global South. Incorporating field research from Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador, the Philippines, Botswana and The Gambia, Sylvia Chant and Cathy McIlwaine bring alive a body of fascinating subject matter extending across gender, family, poverty, employment, household livelihoods, the informal economy, housing, migration, civil society, conflict and violence. Reflecting both authors enduring interests in the academic policy interface, the book is also informed by assignments they have undertaken for various international organisations such as the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, ILO and the Commonwealth Secretariat. This timely and engaging volume will be an essential companion for undergraduate students taking introductory courses in development and globalisation as well as a useful reference and repository of teaching and learning ideas for those lecturing on the subject. Students will not only find this resource refreshingly accessible and user-friendly, but will be able to further their knowledge guided by annotated readings, key internet sources and a range of learning activities.
