Johnston, R.J. (1979). Geography and Geographers. Anglo-American Human Geography since 1945. Edward Arnold, London. Mr Lewis: Not really. Physical features are natural: they would be here even if people weren’t. Things like rivers, mountains and seas! Human features are made by people, like buildings, roads and bridges.

The changes under critical geography have led to contemporary approaches in the discipline such as feminist geography, new cultural geography, settlement geography, "demonic" geographies, and the engagement with postmodern and post-structural theories and philosophies. With an exceptional balance between breadth and depth, this is undoubtedly a timely and ground-breaking revision of the Dictionary. An outstanding accomplishment of the editors and contributors, and a comprehensive and essential reference for any student or scholar interested in human geography.’ Mei-Po Kwan, Ohio State University Matt: Right, let's go and start making our map. Okay. So for this mission, you're going to need to look at human and physical features in this place, all around us. So human features are things that people have built like that great big wall or the houses or roads, things like that.Collections Print and digital collections serve as extensions of our teaching and research facilities.

Subfields include: Social geography, Animal geographies, Language geography, Sexuality and space, Children's geographies, and Religion and geography.Kaplan, Dave H.; Holloway, Steven; Wheeler, James O.

Noel Castree is Professor of Human Geography at Manchester University and has a wide range of expertise in the subject. He has authored and edited several books, including Nature, Remaking Reality (with Bruce Braun), and David Harvey: A Critical Reader (with Derek Gregory). He is also a senior editor of the recent International Encyclopedia of Human Geography and the forthcoming International Encyclopedia of Geography. Population geography is the study of ways in which spatial variations in the distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations are related to their environment or location. From the 1970s, a number of critiques of the positivism now associated with geography emerged. Known under the term ' critical geography,' these critiques signaled another turning point in the discipline. Behavioral geography emerged for some time as a means to understand how people made perceived spaces and places, and made locational decisions. The more influential 'radical geography' emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. It draws heavily on Marxist theory and techniques, and is associated with geographers such as David Harvey and Richard Peet. Radical geographers seek to say meaningful things about problems recognized through quantitative methods, [6] provide explanations rather than descriptions, put forward alternatives and solutions, and be politically engaged, [7] rather than using the detachment associated with positivists. (The detachment and objectivity of the quantitative revolution was itself critiqued by radical geographers as being a tool of capital). Radical geography and the links to Marxism and related theories remain an important part of contemporary human geography (See: Antipode). Critical geography also saw the introduction of 'humanistic geography', associated with the work of Yi-Fu Tuan, which pushed for a much more qualitative approach in methodology. Subfields include: Economic geography, Population geography, and Settlement geography. These are clearly not the only subfields that could be used to assist in the study of Urban geography, but they are some major players. [10]
