Practising Human Geography gave me confidence to boast anywhere that I am a practicing Human Geographer just by providing information on basic Human geography concepts and ways and acts of human geographers.
I will be adopting this as essential reading. From some of the key geographers of our time, this book expertly navigates the reader through a vast array of methodologies and methods for collecting, analysing and interpreting data. It does so while keeping up to date and drawing upon the key concepts and ways of thinking that are held in the wider social sciences.
Generally useful text that covers a wide range of methodological techniques that are useful for undergraduates.
Particularly handy as an introductory text, giving useful insights into the doing of human geography which most texts lack.
Recommended as one of several 'core' texts 2nd year students should consider purchasing to support their methods course.
An excellent book which caters for both undergraduate and postgraduate levels
This is a hugely valuable book, which re-sets the starting point for texts which are about doing human geography. 'Recommended' rather than essential simply because the module I teach is primarily a methods course - and this book goes a good deal further than just methods. By the same token, the book should travel on the students, as continue on to other modules and dissertationm projects. Our Masters students should look at it too.
This is an extremely rich overview of major debates and changes that have occurred in geography. The focus on practice (rather than theory or methods per se) is refreshing. My intention is to use the book to help students understand the shifting place of quantitative research - but other sections also look helpful.
