Beginning with existential phenomenology and humanistic geography, the book covers Marxism and radical geography, structuralism, structuration theory, realism, locality studies, various streams of poststructuralism and postmodernism, and feminism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each chapter examines a few theories in depth, concentrating on the major works and the nature of their contribution. Many of the ideas covered are dense and complex, but the reader is drawn gradually into the text through notions understandable to students. After spending time with this book the reader should be able to tackle virtually any philosophical theme in contemporary geographic thought.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book will be central to courses in geographical thought and the history of geographical thought, and as part of virtually all courses in human geography whcih entail philosophy and theory.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eRichard Peet\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor at the Graduate School of Geography, Clark University and Co-Editor of \u003ci\u003eEconomic Geography\u003c\/i\u003e.
