A Companion to Environmental Geography is the first book to comprehensively and systematically map the research frontier of ''human-environment geography'' in an accessible and comprehensive way.
- Cross-cuts several areas of a discipline which has traditionally been seen as divided; presenting work by human and physical geographers in the same volume
- Presents both the current ''state of the art'' research and charts future possibilities for the discipline
- Extends the term ''environmental geography'' beyond its ''traditional'' meanings to include new work on nature and environment by human and physical geographers - not just hazards, resources, and conservation geographers
- Contains essays from an outstanding group of international contributors from among established scholars and rising stars in geography
