The text includes practical, real-world examples drawn from a range of social science and humanities disciplines to showcase the interpretation of landscape by different means and to different ends. "Pauses for thought" encourage the reader to reflect and connect ideas and debates to examples encountered in their own life and work. Suggested activities support independent study and aid the design and delivery of university teaching. Each chapter also includes suggested readings, and the textbook includes discussion of research methods for those developing their own research projects.This book will be valuable for both students and educators encountering, or teaching, the study of landscape within the humanities and social sciences for the first time. The incorporation of practical exercises and suggested reading enables the book to supplement independent study or be used as a teaching aid.

Oonagh Walsh and Springer Nature Switzerland AG apologise to Marie O’Connor, Colm MacGeehin and Ruadhán MacAodháin This volume brings together research in the GeoHumanities from various intellectual perspectives to illustrate the benefits of humanities-inspired approaches in understanding and confronting historically entrenched and recently emergent health-related challenges. In three main sections, this volume seeks to foreground the richness of work entangling medicine and health with the concerns of geography and of the Humanities. This volume will be of interest to academics and researchers in the Geographies of health and medicine, social sciences in GeoHumanities, and health humanities, and students in programs focusing on the humanities and health. In the book's first section, Bodies, the authors explore the material, sensory and more than physical capacities of bodies in accounting for experiences of death, air raids, immigration, dance therapy, asthma and blindness. Section two, Voice, addresses the nature of evidence, HIV/AIDS policy, patient voices in animal research, homelessness, and constructions of truth. The final section, Practice, focuses on creative writing, as well as the pedagogic tools of teaching with the asylum, the creative practice of nuclear emergency planning zones, arts-based care for the elderly, and cartographic practices within health research.
