His books include \u003ci\u003eGeographic Thought: A Critical Introduction \u003c\/i\u003e(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)and \u003ci\u003eOn the Move: Mobility in the Modern Western World\u003c\/i\u003e (2006). He has also co-edited four collections, including \u003ci\u003eGeographies of Mobilities: Practices, Spaces, Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e (with Peter Merriman, 2012). \u003cp\u003ePlace is one of the most fundamental concepts in human geography as well as the broad field of the humanities and social sciences. This highly successful short introduction provides a fundamental overview for students, combining discussion about everyday uses of the term with the more complex theoretical debates that have grown up around it. Now in its second edition, the text has been significantly revised and updated while preserving its valuable brevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlace\u003c\/i\u003e traces the development of the concept from the 1950s through its subsequent appropriation by cultural geographers, and the linking of place to politics. It makes these debates accessible to students by drawing on global examples from the news, popular culture, and everyday life as a way of explaining more abstract ideas. The second edition retains discussion of classic issues and debates, but it has been developed to reflect recent issues and research, and to ensure its continued relevance. The new edition also includes an additional section on the use of place in non-geographical arenas, such as ecological theory, art theory and practice, philosophy, and social theory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is supported by revised teaching and learning aids at http:\/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/place including an annotated bibliography, lists of key readings and texts, a survey of web resources, and suggested pedagogical resources and potential student projects.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFor geographers it’s tough to have a key concept like \u003ci\u003eplace\u003c\/i\u003e be so common-yet-ineffable.  Here Tim Cresswell does a masterful job of clarifying and explicating it in such a thorough and readable fashion.  This book is impressive in its breadth and depth, its disciplinarity and trans-disciplinarity, as well as its focus on both the historical and contemporary debates on place. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMichael Brown, University of Washington\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlace is one of the essential moments in any account of geography but it is also one of the most difficult to articulate. In this new edition of a book which has become the standard account of what place is and how it moves us Tim Cresswell provides a user’s guide to place which is, at the same time, a considered theoretical account. There is no better means of navigating a notion which is both utterly obvious and yet surprisingly difficult to come to terms with. The book isn’t just a highly recommended journey through the thickets of literature on place, it is a genuine starting point for students and scholars alike. \u003cb\u003eNigel Thrift, University of Warwick\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989793849573,"sku":"NP9780470655627","price":30.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470655627.jpg?v=1761785492","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/place-isbn-9780470655627","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
