’Space Odysseys brings together challenging and fascinating perspectives on the condition of the world, both local and global. While re-assessing the traditional contours of modern views of space and exploring the boundaries and possibilities opened up by new socio-spatial processes and realities, the book creatively engages with the 'new modalities' of space in the post 9/11 world. This should be an essential text for all those interested in spatial theory.’ Erik Swyngedouw, Professor of Geography, Oxford University. ’This momentous collection of original essays by leading scholars on mobility, territoriality, identity and the spatial production of knowledge moves our understandings of space and place onto new ground. Providing fresh theoretical insights grounded in empirical research, the book will be very useful for advanced students as well as researchers engaged in some of the most crucial issues of today.’ Eric Clark, Professor and Head of the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Lund University, Sweden ’...a dynamic and engaging collection of cross-disciplinary essays...a very worthwhile and challenging book...I anticipate it as being of great relevance to anyone with an interest in spatial theory.’ Social and Cultural Geography
