I just stumbled upon ‘Place’ by Tim Cresswell. You can preview a generous amount of the book here.

Description

This text introduces students of human geography to the fundamental concept of place, marrying everyday uses of the term with the complex theoretical debates that have grown up around it.

  • A short introduction to one of the most fundamental concepts in human geography.
  • Marries everyday uses of the term “place” with the more complex theoretical debates that have grown up around it.
  • Makes the debates intelligible to students, using familiar stories as a way into more abstract ideas.
  • Excerpts and discusses key papers on place by Doreen Massey and David Harvey.
  • Considers empirical examples of ways in which the concept of place has been used in research.
  • Teaching and learning aids include an annotated bibliography, lists of key readings and texts, a survey of web resources, suggested pedagogical resources and possible student projects.
