Annotation Two decades after the publication of the seminal Models in Geography, edited by Richard Chorley & Peter Haggett, this major collection of specially commissioned essays charts the new human geography from the perspective of political economy. Providing surveys of recent trends in theory, bibliographic guides to the literature, and pointers to advances and frontiers in thinking, the book ranges from cultural to economic and urban geography. The authors explore the connections between political economy and geographical thought in each area, with the emphasis lying on the processes of material production and social reproduction.

Based on the premise that the cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts between human geography and the social sciences is central to the continuing process of rethinking human geography, these essays examine some of the major issues and questions facing the world today.
