The Dictionary of Human Geography, 5th Edition

Product Information

Matt: Hi, Change Champs. It's so exciting to see you here. I've been a National Park Ranger for almost five years now, and I never get bored of spending all my time outside in this awesome place. Should we take a look around? Even better than before, the Dictionary is an essential tool for all human geographers and over the years has provided an invaluable guide to the changing boundaries and content of the discipline. No-one can afford to be without this fifth edition.’ Linda McDowell, University of Oxford Collections Print and digital collections serve as extensions of our teaching and research facilities. Off-Campus Access Students, staff, and faculty can access most of our electronic resources off-campus. 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?

Publishing Support We provide consultation focusing on opportunities in digital publishing and scholarship.

Activity 1: Human or physical?

One of the first examples of geographic methods being used for purposes other than to describe and theorize the physical properties of the earth is John Snow's map of the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak. Though Snow was primarily a physician and a pioneer of epidemiology rather than a geographer, his map is probably one of the earliest examples of health geography. The Dictionary of Human Geography represents the definitive guide to issues and ideas, methods and theories in human geography. Now in its fifth edition, this ground-breaking text has been comprehensively revised to reflect the changing nature and practice of human geography and its rapidly developing connections with other fields.

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.
