Economic Geography provides a thoroughly accessible and comprehensive introduction to the study of economic activity in place and across space. Building on the solid foundation laid in the first edition, this second edition features the most up-to-date data available as well as increased coverage of a wide variety of crucial topics--from recent shifts in emerging markets to the growth of transportation and communication networks to the economic
ramifications of climate change to the increasing urbanization of economies. Reflecting the most current thinking in the field, Economic Geography opens students' eyes to the many ways in which economic, social, and
political institutions affect both quality of life for individuals and outcomes for societies around the world.
