Geography and Revolution

"[The case studies that play with the major terms of the title] address the geography of revolutions, revolutions in geographical science, and the fate of geography during revolutions --usually more than one of these at once, and often with a fashionable reflexiveness (the geography of geography in the Scientific Revolution, or the geography of technical revolutions in geography)....The volume's principal contribution [is] continuing to build the case for the historical importance of geographical science and its salience in cultural and political history."--Michael Dettelbach "Journal of Historical Geography" (4/1/2007 12:00:00 AM)

"Primarily intended for a specialized academic audience, these essays will also profit the interested general reader, providing a glimpse into the way the discipline of geography views the world and insights into the roots of contemorary debates on the perceptival nature of knowledge."--Janel Curry "Books & Culture"

"The scholarship is excellent, the writing and editing of high quality, and the dialectic of geogrpahy and revolution at the heart of the project is interesting and productive."--Peter O. Muller "Annals of the Association of American Geographers"

"Whether harnessed to Hartshornian, Kuhnian, Foucaultian, Deleuzian, Latourian, or any number of less nominal approaches, the field has been cross-ploughed and sown with a considerable effort yielding respectable results. Of course, much more remains to be done. The well-edited and executed volume is testament to the first proposition and points in multiple ways toward the second."--Kent Mathewson "Journal of Regional Science"

Like Livingstone and Wither's previous editorial contribution, Geography and Enlightenment, Geography and Revolution highlights the important contributions geographical thinking can make to the history of science."--Daniela Bleichmar "Nuncius"
