Key Methods in Geography

Dealing with quantitative and qualitative techniques, 30 papers offer advice on geographic research design, methods, analysis, and presentation. Clifford (river science, Nottingham U., UK) and Valentine (geography, U. of Sheffield, UK) have attempted to represent the full range of methods available, including chapters on questionnaire surveys, finding historical data, semi-structured interviews, participant observation, modeling, and using geographic information systems. The text appears to be aimed at undergraduate geography students. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
