Download or read book For a New Geography written by Milton Santos and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in English, a key work of critical geography Originally published in 1978 in Portuguese, For a New Geography is a milestone in the history of critical geography, and it marked the emergence of its author, Milton Santos (1926–2001), as a major interpreter of geographical thought, a prominent Afro-Brazilian public intellectual, and one of the foremost global theorists of space. Published in the midst of a crisis in geographical thought, For a New Geography functioned as a bridge between geography’s past and its future. In advancing his vision of a geography of action and liberation, Santos begins by turning to the roots of modern geography and its colonial legacies. Moving from a critique of the shortcomings of geography from the field’s foundations as a modern science to the outline of a new field of critical geography, he sets forth both an ontology of space and a methodology for geography. In so doing, he introduces novel theoretical categories to the analysis of space. It is, in short, both a critique of the Northern, Anglo-centric discipline from within and a systematic critique of its flaws and assumptions from outside. Critical geography has developed in the past four decades into a heterogenous and creative field of enquiry. Though accruing a set of theoretical touchstones in the process, it has become detached from a longer and broader history of geographical thought. For a New Geography reconciles these divergent histories. Arriving in English at a time of renewed interest in alternative geographical traditions and the history of radical geography, it takes its place in the canonical works of critical geography.

Download or read book Geography of New York State written by John H. Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1977-04 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book for everyone with a personal or professional interest in the Empire State, an essential source of information for industry, commerce, government, development groups, state and local organizations, teachers, students, and present and prospective residents. Written by professionals in terms understandable to the layperson, this book covers the physical, historical, and economic geography of the state. Geography of New York State is unique among state geographies in the breadth of its coverage. The first section examines the physical aspects of the state, region by region—its landforms, climate, water, vegetation, and soil. In the second section, the changing pattern of human occupation and use of the land is traced from earliest Indian days to the 1960s. A discussion of the state's economic activities makes up the third section. This is an informed, detailed analysis of each of the major economic sectors: agriculture, mining, lumbering, fishing; manufacturing and construction; sales and service. It examines their changing relative importance to the state's economy and provides a projection of future economic trends. In the fourth section, the nature and potential of urban and rural areas are contrasted, and suggestions are made for rational planning and development regions. New York's seven major urban systems are given special attention in the fifth section of the book. Separate chapters offer detailed studies of Albany-Schenectady, Binghamton, Buffalo, New York, Rochester, Syracuse, and Utica—their history, physical setting, economic activities, problems, and prospects for future growth. This volume includes three maps of New York State, New York State mineral production, and projected land use. A thirty-two-page supplement, with updated comments and data, is also available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth and thoroughly revised edition of Regional Geography of the United States and Canada provides a rich and comprehensive overview of both the physical and human geography of these two countries, and in the true spirit of geography, the interactions and interrelations of the physical and human. Following long traditions of the discipline of geography, this text incorporates words, maps, drawings, photographs, and numerical data to present its information in an engaging way. After covering beneficial precursor topics—such as the basics of physical and human geography—the text explores fifteen regions of the US and Canada. The authors observe and describe our planet’s geography in thorough and accessible detail, while laying out the spatial basics of the location, shape, and size of the different regions, and summarizes their most distinctive thematic qualities. Physical topics covered include the region’s topography and landforms, soils, climate, hydrography, vegetation, and wildlife. The human topics include the region’s population; the ethnicities and settlement history of its people; economic activities, including agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing, manufacturing, and service industries; cities; and transportation. In-depth essays expand on specific topics of interest and importance, while outlook sections prognosticate about the near future of the regions. Each chapter concludes with a bibliography of books, articles, and reports that provide further sources for the interested reader.

Download or read book Political Geography written by and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a rapidly changing world in which politics is becoming both more and less predictable at the same time: this makes political geography a particularly exciting topic to study. To make sense of the continuities and disruptions within this political world requires a strongly focused yet flexible text. This new (sixth) edition of Peter Taylor’s Political Geography proves itself fit for the task of coping with a frequently and rapidly changing geo-political landscape. Co-authored again with Colin Flint, it retains the intellectual clarity, rigour and vision of previous editions, based upon its world-systems approach. Reflecting the backdrop of the current global climate, this is the Empire, globalization and climate change edition in which global political change is being driven by three related processes: the role of cities in economic and political networks; the problems facing territorially based notions of democratic politics and citizenship, and the ongoing spectre of war. This sixth edition remains a core text for students of political geography, geopolitics, international relations and political science, as well as more broadly across human geography and the social sciences.
