The Human Geography of Ireland

By James Henry Johnson

Book Overview

This is the first student-level human geography of Ireland for over twenty years. Since the 1970s Ireland has become a member of the European Community, has experienced economic change, both growth and recession, enormous urban development, the transformation of traditional social structures and population patterns particularly in the countryside and the intensification of the tragic political consequences of the Troubles. Professor Johnson, distinguished Irish geographer and experienced writer of textbooks, has produced an up-to-date, thoughtful and stimulating analysis of Ireland's human geography, stressing the historical legacy and roots of the landscape, and the impact of recent dramatic changes.
