"...represents some of the most important milestones in the
development of contemporary economic geography....an essential
reference point for beginners and specialists alike." Gordon L.
Clark, University of Oxford

"Brings to life the vibrancy, excitement and passion of economic
geography. Crisp and provocative introductions divide the reader
into five thematic sections, and the selections themselves will
spark debate in the classroom. This will be required reading in any
serious undergraduate geography program and a coveted resource for
students at any level." Altha Cravey, University of North
Carolina

"This is a wonderful showcase of the depth and breadth of the
vibrant and unruly field that is economic geography. Although
nominally an accompaniment to A Companion to Economic Geography,
this book more than stands on its own merits as a critical journey
through some of the most important moments and impulses of economic
geography thinking." Andrew Leyshon, University of
Nottingham

"...manages to combine a strong sense of the intellectual
diversity of contemporary economic geography with an awareness of
the key questions whic define the scope of the discipline."
Keith Chapman, University of Aberdeen
