"An authoritative map through the thickets of the geographical
imagination." Times Literary Supplement "Anyone who wants to be in
touch with contemporary modes of thought in a wide variety of
fields will benefit from reading this book ... its passages will
open up new perspectives and possibilities for human geography,
ranging from an excellent discussion of the expansion of social and
cultural geography into topics that are less than traditional." The
Canadian Geographer
..". subtle and generous ... As a result of his effort to draw
connections between diverse projects while respecting their
integrity and paying each the compliment of measured criticism,

has already been achieved by way of transdisciplinary
transformations since the 1960s, and a welcome invitation to
imagine more." Environment and Planning D: Society and Space
