"The Companion, then, is intended to provide a state of
the art review of the ideas, concepts, and theories that are
current in economic geography... This is a uniformly high quality
collection that I wholeheartedly recommend to interested
undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers alike, whether they
term themselves 'economic geographers' or not. The chapters work
well as stand alone resources, and equally, the structure of the
book into five separate but interlinked 'realms' provides a good
overall coherence." Environment and Planning A.
"The Companion adopts a rather conventional organization
of subsequent chapters that will fit with many course syllabi,
moving from "Realms of Production" through "Resource Worlds" and
"Social Worlds" to "Spaces of Circulation"." Peter O. Muller,
Annals of the Association of American Geographers
"This is an impressive and very welcome volume. The editors and
authors have done a great job and the rest of us should be grateful
for the fact that this rich collection of papers is accessible"
Environment and Planning D.
"...manages to combine a strong sense of the intellectual diversity of contemporary economic geography...with an awareness of the key questions which define the scope of the discipline." Keith Chapman, Univesity of Aberdeen
