| adam_text | HUMAN GEOGRAPHYa conce Introduction
In this textbook, Mark Boyle combines his broad and deep understanding of the discipline of Human
Geography with his great passion and enthusiasm for education and teaching. With the
student in mind, he has delivered a concise yet complete overview of what Human Geography is all
about. Students who want to grasp the contemporary global political turmoil have to read this intro-
duction to Human Geography.
Guy Baeten, Lund University
An excellent textbook for introductory courses in Human Geography. The thematic and historical
organization is a most welcome change from the usual subdisciplinary frameworks.
1 Patricia Wood, York University, Toronto
Using the story of the West and the world as its backdrop, this book provides for beginning
students a clear and concise introduction to Human Geography, including its key concepts,
seminal thinkers and their theories, contemporary debates, and celebrated case studies.
Mark Boyle, a respected academic with more than 20 years experience researching and teaching
the subject, explores the significance of the rise, reign, and faltering of the West from the fifteenth
century in the shaping of the key demographic, environmental, social, economic, political, and
cultural processes active in the world today. He documents important thinkers, debates, and
theories in an accessible manner, and includes a rich variety of case studies examining the ways
in which geographical processes operate in both Western and non-Western societies, including
those in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
The book is armed with an array of pedagogical resources, including learning objectives, essay
questions, checklists summarizing key ideas, guidance for further reading, and a glossary. A
website at www.wiley.com/go/boyle includes chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides, a multiple
choice exam paper, and additional essay-style exam questions for instructors, alongside links
to further learning resources, tutorial exercises, and biographies of key authors in the field
for students.
MARK BOYLE is Professor and Chair of Geography at the National University of Ireland,
Maynooth. He has taught introductory and advanced courses in Human Geography for more
than 20 years. He has also researched and published widely in the fields of colonialism and
postcolonialism, migration, diaspora and development, and urban and regional development.
