Description - The Place of Geography by Tim Unwin
Written to provide a readable yet challenging account of the emergence of geography as an academic discipline, this offers the student new to the study of geography an introduction to the literature on the subject. The book traces the development of geography back to its formal roots in classical antiquity and it interprets the changes which have taken place in geographical practice within the context of Jurgen Habermas' critical theory. In addition, it argues the case for a re-introduction of human and physical geography by suggesting that the separation of the two disciplines has been detrimental to the relationship between people and the environment. It is aimed at undergraduates and should be useful to those taking courses on the philosophy and methodology of geography and can be used as a supplementary text for those taking philosophy of science.
