"This volume is both timely and welcome. As society faces a new
world order that reflects the increasing tension and simultaneity
between local and global forces, it is essential to lay the
foundations toward a comprehensive ‘theory of scale’.
This volume, through its integration and contemplation of disparate
ideas drawn from the spectrum of geographical perspectives, is a
crucial first step toward that grand agenda." Bernie Bauer,
University of Southern California
"This is a fascinating book...it covers an intimidating array of
subjects but shows how one aspect - scale - can affect all of them
in surprisingly similar ways. The depth and breadth of coverage
makes the text an invaluable one." Dr Paul Ganderton, Teaching
Ecology News.
"This book is important reading for all geographers based on its catholic content and because it provides a lens into our diverse discipline. Few edited collections contain such consistently strong chapters. Scale and Geographic Enquiry is recommended for all geographers, especially graduate students and their instructors." The Geographical Journal
