Human Geography

A Very Short Introduction
Book • 2025
Human geography offers answers to some of the most important challenges of our time.

To understand contemporary struggles over global economic inequality, forced migration, racial injustice, gender justice, and the climate crisis, we must grasp the ways in which these are fought over and through space.

It examines the formation of power systems and the ways in which they have been constructed, subverted, and resisted over time.

This explores the topic through seven spaces that define the present: the colony, the pipeline, the border, the high rise, the workplace, the conservation area, and outer space.

In addition, the authors take a critical view of the discipline and its history, but argue for its continuing vitality.
