Human geography in the last decade has undergone a conceptual and methodological renaissance that transformed it into one of the most dynamic and innovative of the social sciences. Long a borrower of ideas from other disciplines, geography has become a contributor in its own right, and a "spatial turn" is evident in disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology, and Literary Criticism.<BR><BR>With more than 300 entries written by an international team of leading authorities in the field, the <STRONG>Encyclopedia of Human Geography</STRONG> offers a comprehensive overview of the major ideas, concepts, terms, and approaches that characterize a notoriously diverse field. This multidisciplinary volume provides cross-cultural coverage of human geography as it is understood in the contemporary world and takes into account the enormous conceptual changes that have evolved since the 1970s, including a variety of social constructivist approaches.&nbsp;<BR><BR> Key Features: <BR> <UL><LI>Examines a range of themes characterizing different schools of thought and addresses long-standing topics, such as urban, economic, and medical geography, as well as contemporary topics, including feminism, the social dimensions of GIS, and the social construction of nature </LI><LI>Explores many of the dualities that long characterized social science-nature versus society, the individual versus the social, the historical versus the geographical, consumption versus production-and breaks them down using postmodern and poststructuralist approaches&nbsp;</LI><LI>Illustrates how social and spatial structures draw upon people's daily lives, which in turn structures their actions</LI><LI>Looks at how globalization has manifested differently from place to place by discussing topics such as transnational capital, international trade, global commodity chains, global cities, international financial and telecommunications systems, and how the global economy is reshaping geopolitics and governance &nbsp; </LI></UL>Key Themes: <BR> <UL><LI>Economic Geography </LI><LI>Urban Geography </LI><LI>Political Geography </LI><LI>Social/Cultural Geography </LI><LI>Geographic Theory and History </LI><LI>Cartography/Geographical Information Systems &nbsp; </LI></UL>

Description:

Are our religious faiths and spiritual practices contributing to a sustainable community of life? Claiming that his own faith, Christianity, is not, Dr. Gerald Barney proposes that we face up to a critically important choice during our crossing to the new millennium -- between a more crowded, polluted, polarized, and vulnerable world, or a more stable, healthy, and sustainable global community. The threshold choice he describes is fundamentally spiritual, with powerful implications in daily life. The authors illustrate the connections between our beliefs, spiritual values, and the world's critical issues. Threshold 2000 also cites numerous scientific sources detailing interconnected trends such as water, soil, and oil depletion; population growth; hunger; war; and increasing numbers of refugees.
