Focusing on key geographical challenges facing the world in the early twenty-first century, stimulating coverage examines the diverse forces that shape economies and societies. Themes, issues and links are highlighted and emphasised to present a holistic view of what the editors describe as our '... interconnected, contradictory, complex, conflict-ridden and fantastically diverse planet.' All chapters are written by specialists in the field and offer original, critical and engaging perspectives.
