Index
"Finally, a text that brings the major contributions of the
'new cultural geography' and its relationship to
cultural studies into rich relief. A Companion to Cultural
Geography comprises a series of outstanding essays on
contemporary cultural geographies of nature, identity, landscape,
and power. Each of the essays engages with broader debates in
cultural studies and social theory, and with the role of theory,
methodology and practice in contemporary human geography. This
Companion will be invaluable to students, teachers, and
researchers alike."

John Pickles, UNC Chapel Hill

"A Companion to Cultural Geography provides excellent
company for a range of journeys that cultural geographers may be
planning to embark upon... This is a book that academics cultural
geographers will want to have on their bookshelves, and on the
shelves of their libraries, as a resource for themselves and their
senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, because these
companions will speed many an academic journey."
