Specifikacia Rural Geographies: People, Place and the Countryside Yarwood Richard
Rural Geographies provides a critical, contemporary and accessible introduction to understanding rural change by using geographical ideas to explain and analyse current issues affecting the countryside.The book discusses how the countryside has been conceptualised and located by geographers and considers how it can be studied across different scales (from community to the global countryside). Each chapter provides a concise and well-illustrated introduction to a key theme in rural geography using current literature and contemporary examples. The chapters are divided into four sections, covering rural contexts, changes, contests and cultures. The volume is largely centred on the Global North, reflecting the tradition of scholarship in rural geography but has a global perspective and draws upon on key examples in the Global South as appropriate.Rural Geographies
