Earth Ways Framing Geographical Meanings

How do you connect the discipline of anthropology to both philosophy and geography? What about history, sociology, and other applied and theoretical forms of knowledge? In Earth Ways: Framing Geographical Meanings, Gary Backhaus and John Murungi challenge contributors to find the organizing component, or framings, that enables them to bridge their own work to philosophy and geography. What emerges are truly creative contributions to interdisciplinary thought.
