Contested Worlds
Contested Worlds provides an introduction both to a multitude of geographical worlds which are currently being actively constructed and contested, and to a range of different perspectives on these worlds being adopted and contested by geographers. It is unique in its focus on the role of contestation in both the construction of geographical studies and in the geographies these studies seek to address. These issues are explored through a combination of general theoretical discussion and detailed international case studies. The areas discussed range in scale from the global, through the regional and national to the local worlds of the inner city, the neighbourhood and the village, with connections drawn between these scales. The book concludes that geography is being made in quite different ways. It asserts that geography is intrinsically a contested enterprise, and that this should be embraced as part of geographers becoming more critically involved in the making, and studying, of new contemporary human geographies.

Towards Abbey Road
'The spring of 1965 marked the beginning of teenage angst for me. Love was in the air. From the innocence of cataloguing bus numbers or stamp collecting I was pitched into the heady world of sex. I'd been able to partially put this stuff on the back burner after the summer of Profumo, but by the second term of my third year at the grammar school, everyone was copping off. Or at least that's what it seemed like'. In this keenly observed account of his coming of age in the 1960s, Martin Phillips subjects his passion for the era to his enquiring contemporary viewpoint and retrospective insight.
