Cultural Encounters with the Environment : Enduring and Evolving Geographic Themes Hardback
by Alexander B. Murphy, Douglas L. Johnson, Viola Haarmann
Hardback
Description
In Cultural Encounters with the Environment, a distinguished group of contributors offers a fresh and original view of contemporary geography.
The authors explore the role of four traditional themes in the "new cultural geography": the interplay between the evolution of particular biophysical niches and the activities of the culture groups that inhabit them; the diffusion of cultural traits; the establishment and definition of culture areas; and the distinctive mix of geographical characteristics that gives places their special character in relation to one another.
By examining how cultural space is constructed; how environment is remade, understood, and imaged as a consequence; and how people lay claim to place, this volume establishes a compelling case for the importance of these enduring concepts to present and future trajectories in cultural geography.
