Editorial Reviews
Review
"...Johnston marvellously succeeds in getting students to think through, not only some controversies in the philosophy of science, but important issues of resources, research politics and social and institutional context without inducing cynicism about their subject."--Political Geography
From the Publisher
Surveys the major trends in human geography since 1945 in the English-speaking world and sets their appreciation within the context of economic, social and political changes. It focuses on the debates among geographers regarding what their discipline should study, and how that should be done, and draws on a wide reading of the geographical literature produced during a fifty-year period characterised by both massive growth in the number of academic geographers and several very substantial shifts in conceptions of the discipline's scientific rationale. Designed to be used on courses on the discipline's recent history, Geography and Geographers is essential reading for students of human geogrpahy seeking a proper understanding of how their subject became what it is now.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Geography & Geographers: Anglo-American Human Geography since 1945 (Paperback)
Higgeldy Piggeldy is the only way to describe this book that jumps about and fails to entertain a solid timeline or progression through geography or geographers. Don't do this to your students... Reading this was insufferable and ulimately left unfinished. I can't say I gained anything from it :(
