Reading Retail: A Geographical Perspective on Retailing and Consumption Spaces

The geographies of retailing and consumption have become one of the key topics of the twenty-first century, both in terms of research and and undergraduate teaching. The undergraduate literature has been slow to keep up with this rapidly developing field and students have to look to a wide range of sources - often relatively obscure - to obtain a clear overview of current research into retailing. This major new text provides students with such an overview in a single, accessible volume. It brings together the authors' own writing and a wide range of short "readings" drawn from other sources, which have been integrated into the flow of the text.
