Good at the time - still useful, but time for an update!

This volume was quite helpful when it came out 15 years ago, as a guide for a new graduate student in geography, and its current contents still have much merit especially for history of geog/philosophy of geog courses. And yet, for those familiar with the various 'schools of thought' in a theoretical sense, much has happened since 1991. It's time for an update fellow editors, to include the many internal and consulsive post-structural aspects not covered in the volume. If you have been in an undergraduate program that emphasized "how to" rather than "why" or "what is your philosophy of geography?" this is a great little volume to read over the summer BEFORE you begin graduate work.
