SynopsisA stimulating introduction, this book explores the concept of 'landscape' in theories and writings of the last twenty to thirty years, thereby allowing students to fully comprehend this vast and complex topic., Landscape is a stimulating introduction to and contemporary understanding of one of the most important concepts within human geography.

This book clearly and concisely explores 'landscape' theories and writings, allowing students of geography, environmental studies and cultural studies to fully comprehend this vast and complex topic. To aid the student, vignettes are used to highlight key writers, papers and texts. Annotated further reading and student exercises are also included. For researchers and lecturers, Landscape presents a forward-looking synthesis of hitherto disparate fields of inquiry, one which offers a platform for future research and writing.
