Focusing on post-positive geography, 'Reading Human Geography' makes available in a single volume some of the key texts that have informed its contemporary thought and practice. The readings include some of the most important contributions by geographers to conceptual and methodological debates during the last fifteen years. Paying special attention to writings by human geographers rather than philosophers and other social scientists makes the collection unusually accessible to undergraduates unfamiliar with other vocabularies and other concerns. Editorial introductions to each section draw attention to connections inside and outside the discipline; they provide both a context for and a summary of the essays that follow, together with a detailed bibliography and suggestions for further reading. There is also a glossary and an index.

This Human Geography Reader helps students see as a geographer sees, practice thinking and observing spatially, and ask the kinds of questions a geographer asks. The readings emphasize basic concepts of place, space, region, interaction, and movement to teach students to view standard topics in geography from a true geographic perspective. They invite the reader to apply this perspective to real-world events and processes, and consider the world with all its complexities intact. The articles can be read in the order presented, which follows most basic human geography texts. Several of the articles however, fit under multiple topics and processes. This gives the book flexibility and adaptability and makes it an excellent supplemental reader to standard textbooks. Article "Snapshot" summaries and study questions are included for each reading. These can be used to encourage in-class discussion or as the starting point for written assignments. This Human Geography Reader is suitable for introductory college human geography courses, as well as Advanced Placement Human Geography courses in high schools.
