Military Geographies is about how local space, place, environment and landscape are shaped by military presence, and about how wider geographies are touched by militarism.
* A book about how local space, place, environment and landscape are shaped by military presence, and about how wider geographies are touched by militarism.
* Sets a new agenda for the study of military geography with its critical analysis of the ways in which military control over space is legitimized.
* Explores the ways in which militarism and military activities control development, the use of space and our understanding of place.
* Focuses on military lands, establishments and personnel in contemporary peacetime settings.
* Uses examples from Europe, North America and Australasia.
* Draws on original research into the mechanisms by which the British government manages the defence estate.
* Illustrated with maps, plans and other figures.
