An Introduction to Regional Geography

Illustrated by a wide range of examples drawn from all over the world, this authoritative text examines both economic and policy issues and relates these to culture, regional identity, and ecology. The survey provides a concise account of regional studies from the ancient Greeks to the present and describes the main perspectives on the division of space and differing modes of regional representation.

Paul Claval is Emeritus Professor at the University of Paris IV, Sorbonne. He is the author of over twenty texts spanning human, social, economic and cultural geography.
