A Modern Dictionary of Geography

This new enlarged edition reflects advances in the discipline in recent years.

Existing entries have been revised and updated and the dictionary now includes over 2000 terms widely used by modern geographers. It provides a detailed definition and explanation of and has an extensive cross-referencing system which enables the reader easily to identiiy associated terms.
