A British perspective on WASP Geography for the undergrad, September 10, 2004
This review is from: The Student's Companion to Geography (Paperback)
The Brits seem to approach Geography in higher education with more love and attention than their American academic counterparts, and this text illustrates that healthy state of British physical and cultural geographic theory and practice up to 2002. The top-notch authors chosen for each of the chapters help to explain why the Geography major in the UK is fairly popular. The chapters on cultural geography are from an unabashedly leftist perspective(the way I like it), so you won't find, for example, an introduction to military geography in this book! Good references are provided for most chapters for students to explore specialties. The mechanics of how to get through a Geography degree will be helpful to the floundering undergrad.
