Cloke, Paul J.; Crang, Phil; Crang, Philip; Goodwin, Mark (2005). Introducing human geographies (2nded.). London: Hodder Arnold. ISBN 978-0-340-88276-4. Mr Lewis: That’s right! Let’s do a quiz! Work out which are physical features and which are human features. That church: is it a human or physical feature? Historical geography is the study of the human, physical, fictional, theoretical, and "real" geographies of the past. Historical geography studies a wide variety of issues and topics. A common theme is the study of the geographies of the past and how a place or region changes through time. Many historical geographers study geographical patterns through time, including how people have interacted with their environment, and created the cultural landscape. Alisdair Rogers, Keble College, University of Oxford, Noel Castree, The University of Manchester, and Rob Kitchin, National University of Ireland, MaynoothThe changes under critical geography have led to contemporary approaches in the discipline such as feminist geography, new cultural geography, settlement geography, "demonic" geographies, and the engagement with postmodern and post-structural theories and philosophies. Amelle: Your mission is to identify as many human and physical geographical features as possible and draw them onto a map. From the 1970s, a number of critiques of the positivism now associated with geography emerged. Known under the term ' critical geography,' these critiques signaled another turning point in the discipline. Behavioral geography emerged for some time as a means to understand how people made perceived spaces and places, and made locational decisions. The more influential 'radical geography' emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. It draws heavily on Marxist theory and techniques, and is associated with geographers such as David Harvey and Richard Peet. Radical geographers seek to say meaningful things about problems recognized through quantitative methods, [6] provide explanations rather than descriptions, put forward alternatives and solutions, and be politically engaged, [7] rather than using the detachment associated with positivists. (The detachment and objectivity of the quantitative revolution was itself critiqued by radical geographers as being a tool of capital). Radical geography and the links to Marxism and related theories remain an important part of contemporary human geography (See: Antipode). Critical geography also saw the introduction of 'humanistic geography', associated with the work of Yi-Fu Tuan, which pushed for a much more qualitative approach in methodology.

All these hills and trees and birds and everything, but we've also got loads of really cool man-made features too. Matt: A reservoir, it's like a big lake, isn't it? Great big bowl of water. But it isn't natural, it's been made by people to store all the rain that falls here to keep for drinking water. You know, you guys are asking some great questions. I think it's time for a mission.

Methods in human geography: a guide for students doing a research project (2nded.). Harlow: Prentice Hall. ISBN 978-0-582-47321-8. The study of the geographical factors in world politics and inter-state relations. The term is also used more generally to describe regional strategic relations, as in ‘the geopolitics of the South China Sea’. In the present day it covers much the same ground as International Relations, although with greater emphasis on geographical factors such as location, resources, and accessibility. Within this broad definition, there are many variants and the differences between them are significant. In part, these stem from the chequered history of the term ‘geopolitics’, which fell from favour across much of the Anglo-American world after the 1940s. Like we've got a big reservoir here and over there behind us, that's the pumping house where they clean all the water and send it off to be your drinking water in the city. And down here behind us, we got the reservoir outflow, which takes all the water away. So there's loads of really cool things to see. Should we go have a look? The Association of American Geographers was founded in 1904 and was renamed the American Association of Geographers in 2016 to better reflect the increasingly international character of its membership.Ben: By the way that this bus keeps twisting and turning, I'd say that we're on that wiggly road there!

Matt: Right, let's go and start making our map. Okay. So for this mission, you're going to need to look at human and physical features in this place, all around us. So human features are things that people have built like that great big wall or the houses or roads, things like that. For this new edition, all existing entries have been fully revised and updated, and there is now expanded coverage of economic geography (e.g. neo-liberalism), recent developments in geopolitics (e.g. 9/11 responses and the geographical implications of war on terror), and geography of finance (e.g. global production). It also focuses on the increasingly prominent areas of globalization and the anti-globalization movement, landscape restoration, the digital divide, and issues of governance. This edition also contains recommended web links for many entries. Political geography is concerned with the study of both the spatially uneven outcomes of political processes and the ways in which political processes are themselves affected by spatial structures.

We're trying to find out where we are on the map. Ben thinks this is a road, but I think it’s a river. Cultural geography is the study of cultural products and norms - their variation across spaces and places, as well as their relations. It focuses on describing and analyzing the ways language, religion, economy, government, and other cultural phenomena vary or remain constant from one place to another and on explaining how humans function spatially.
