Elaine Stratford

4.9/5 (24558 ratings)

Description:Islands and their environs aerial, terrestrial, aquatic may be understood as intensifiers, their particular and distinctive geographies enabling concentrated study of many kinds of challenges and opportunities. This edited collection brings together several emerging and established academics with expertise in island studies, and interest in geopolitics, governance, adaptive capacity, justice, equity, self-determination, environmental care and protection, and land management. Individually and together, their perspectives provide theoretically useful, empirically grounded evidence of the contributions human geographers can make to knowledge and understanding of island places and the place of islands. Nine chapters engage with the themes, issues, and ideas that characterise the borderlands between island studies and human geography and allied fields, and are contributed by authors for whom matters of place, space, environment, and scale are key, and for whom islands hold an abiding fascination. The penultimate chapter is rather more experimental a conversation among these authors and the editor and the last chapter offers timely reflections upon island geographies past and future, penned by the first named professor of island geography, Stephen Royle."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
