"This consolidated bibliography is new to this edition; it saves
space by avoiding repetition of titles and also provides a useful
resource in its own right". (Reference Reviews, 2010)
"Even better than before, the Dictionary is an essential tool for
all human geographers and over the years has provided an invaluable
guide to the changing boundaries and content of the discipline.
No-one can afford to be without this fifth edition."
Linda McDowell, University of Oxford "From explanations of core
concepts and central debates to lucid discussions of the theories
driving contemporary research, this is the best conceptual map to
the creative and critical thinking that characterizes contemporary
Human Geography. The fifth edition belongs on the bookshelf of all
serious students."
Gerard Toal, Virginia Tech "With an exceptional balance between
breadth and depth, this is undoubtedly a timely and ground-breaking
revision of the Dictionary. An outstanding accomplishment of the
editors and contributors, and a comprehensive and essential
reference for any student or scholar interested in human
geography."
Mei-Po Kwan, Ohio State University "I can’t imagine life without
it. Definitive, detailed yet accessible: there’s still no
single-volume reference work in the field to rival it."
Noel Castree, University of Manchester Reviews of Previous
Editions: "The definitions are of a particularly high standard."
(Geography) "The Dictionary is the best compendium of human
geography of today. It is a book to which I shall turn again and
again, and can only recommend my colleagues to do likewise."
(Tijdschrift voor Econ. en Soc. Geografie) "An invaluable student
guide." (Endeavour) "As a student's companion it could hardly be
bettered." (Times Educational Supplement) "Very highly
recommended." (American Library Association) "The best
single-volume reference to the field of human geography. In paper,
it is quite a bargain and clearly a necessary addition to the
bookshelves of students and professionals alike." (Environmental
Planning) "The Dictionary remains the best single-volume reference
to the field of human geography. In paper, it is quite a bargain
and clearly a necessary addition to the bookshelves of students and
professionals alike." (Geography) "This is easily the best
dictionary of human geography in print." (Progress in Human
Geography) "This dictionary is an essential companion for anyone
studying human geography and it is a bargain. Buy it immediately!"
(Reference Reviews) "I could quite happily spend hours reading the
Dictionary of Human Geography ... It is, quite simply, an
integral part of my being a geographer, and has been since my
earliest undergraduate days." (John H. McKendrick, Glasgow
Caledonian University, Scottish Geographical Journal)
