"A Companion to Environmental Geography will likely become a
landmark, not only for having put forward the basics of a
potentially emergent subfield in geography but also because of its
contribution to the development of an agenda for geography at
large, concerning both the conversation across the divide and
geography's current entanglements with other scientific fields."
(Geographical Review, 1 January 2012)
"All of the chapters have detailed bibliographies, and the index
provides comprehensive cross-listings." (Choice, 1
February 2010)
"Well considered, written and presented. A timely addition to
Wiley-Blackwell's Companion series." (Progress in
Psychical Geography, September 2009)
