The Geography of Energy
Originally published in 1964 and revised in 1971.

Geography and Geographers continues to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date overview of human geography available. It provides a survey of the major debates, key thinkers and schools of thought in the English-speaking world, setting them within the context of economic, social, cultural, political and intellectual changes.

This extensively updated seventh edition offers a thoroughly contemporary perspective on human geography for new and more experienced students alike.

In Britain, it is not a recognised profession or academic discipline in its own right. Perhaps it is part of our national style and heritage that it never should be so compartmentalised. Indeed, energy economics is an interest which cannot easily be con strained within even national boundanes: international energy mar kets impinge everywhere through external demand, supply and price affecting profoundly every aspect of the economy.

Easy communication and the joint imple mentation of technological progress seem, worldwide, the safest route to resolving national and international problems. Such co operation and interchange also bring into the light national and local political myopia, bureaucratic inertia, academic dogma and the dis tortions of an imperfect market system.
