"On the whole, this is a very good book that will deservedby widely deployed in 'history and philosophy ofgeography' courses. A quick second edition with arevised." (Singapore Journal of TropicalGeography, 7 July 2014

"This is absolutely the type of book I wish I had beengiven at the beginning of my own geographicaleducation." (Cultural Geographies, 1 October2013)

"Nevertheless, the author has reduced what is complex to avery readable level that will be of utility to students ofgeography and the history of science. Summing Up:Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (Choice, 1 October 2013)

"Cresswell's introduction to GeographicThought is everything such a book should be: open and honest,wise and witty, accessible and engaging. Offering an intelligentguide to the history of geographical theory, Cresswell'sthinking is consistently clear, concise and critical. Bold in itsconception and sure of its grasp of this rich and contestedintellectual terrain, the book shows the value of geographicalideas in coming to terms with our common humanity and examining ourplace in the world." --Peter Jackson, Universityof Sheffield

"Geographic thinking has become a many-splendoured thing,unable to be captured by conventional bounds. But Tim Cresswelldoes the best job of anybody so far in giving it shape anddirection. Publishers always write that this or that book isindispensable but this one really is." --NigelThrift, University of Warwick…mehr
