Long a borrower of ideas from other disciplines, geography has become a contributor in its own right, and a \"spatial turn\" is evident in disciplines as diverse as Sociology, Anthropology, and Literary Criticism.<br/><br/>With more than 300 entries written by an international team of leading authorities in the field, the Encyclopedia of Human Geography offers a comprehensive overview of the major ideas, concepts, terms, and approaches that characterize a notoriously diverse field. This multidisciplinary volume provides cross-cultural coverage of human geography as it is understood in the contemporary world and takes into account the enormous conceptual changes that have evolved since the 1970s, including a variety of social constructivist approaches. <br/><br/>Key Features<br/> Examines a range of themes characterizing different schools of thought and addresses long-standing topics, such as urban, economic, and medical geography, as well as contemporary topics, including feminism, the social dimensions of GIS, and the social construction of nature Explores many of the dualities that long characterized social sciencenature versus society, the individual versus the social, the historical versus the geographical, consumption versus productionand breaks them down using postmodern and poststructuralist approaches Illustrates how social and spatial structures draw upon peoples daily lives, which in turn structures their actions Looks at how globalization has manifested differently from place to place by discussing topics such as transnational capital, international trade, global commodity chains, global cities, international financial and telecommunications systems, and how the global economy is reshaping geopolitics and governance Key Themes<br/> Cartography/Geographical Information Systems Economic Geography Geographic Theory and History Political Geography Social/Cultural Geography Urban Geography <p> </p>", "author": "Barney Warf", "slug": "encyclopedia-of-human-geography-578330-9781452265339", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781452265339.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "578330", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/578330/encyclopedia-of-human-geography-578330-9781452265339", "bisac_codes": [ "SCI030000", "R3" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780761988588", "EISBN13": "9781452265339", "EISBN10": "145226533X" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010030751243" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000578329", "attributes": { "name": "Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime", "subtitle": "", "description": "<p>Click Additional Materials for downloadable samples</p> <p>\"As a good encyclopedia does, the Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime brings together articles that offer diverse insights into the topic, while at the same time giving the reader a feel for its overall scope.\"<br/>--AGAINST THE GRAIN<br/><br/>\"This carefully researched and excellently presented compendium will be a welcome addition to all libraries.\"<br/>--REFERENCE & USER SERVICES QUARTERLY<br/><br/>Murder and violent crime take many forms.

When courts, sentencing, prisons, jails, and other areas of the criminal justice system are studied, often the first point of entry into the system is through police and law enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, understanding of the important issues in law enforcement has little general literature to draw on. Currently available reference works on policing are narrowly focused and sorely out-of-date. To this end, a distinguished roster of authors, representing many years of knowledge and practice in the field, draw on the latest research and methods to delineate, describe, and analyze all areas of law enforcement. <br/><br/>This three-volume Encyclopedia of Law Enforcement provides a comprehensive, critical, and descriptive examination of all facets of law enforcement on the state and local, federal and national, and international stages. This work is a unique reference source that provides readers with informed discussions on the practice and theory of policing in an historical and contemporary framework. The volumes treat subjects that are particular to the area of state and local, federal and national, and international policing. Many of the themes and issues of policing cut across disciplinary borders, however, and several entries provide comparative information that places the subject in context. <br/><br/>Key Features <br/> Three volumes cover state and local, federal, and international law enforcement<br/> More than 250 contributors composed over 400 essays on all facets of law enforcement <br/> An editorial board made up of the leading scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the field of law enforcement <br/> Descriptions of United States Federal Agency law enforcement components <br/> Comprehensive and inclusive coverage, exploring concepts and social and legal patterns within the larger topical concern <br/> Global, multidisciplinary analysis <br/><br/>Key Themes<br/> Agencies, Associations, and Organizations <br/> Civilian/Private Involvement <br/> Communications <br/> Crime Statistics <br/> Culture/Media <br/> Drug Enforcement <br/> Federal Agencies/Organizations <br/> International <br/> Investigation, Techniques <br/> Types of Investigation<br/> Investigative Commissions <br/> Law and Justice <br/> Legislation/Legal Issues <br/> Military <br/> Minority Issues <br/> Personnel Issues <br/> Police Conduct <br/> Police Procedure <br/> Policing Strategies <br/> Safety and Security <br/> Specialized Law Enforcement Agencies <br/> Tactics <br/> Terrorism <br/> Victims/Witnesses <br/><br/>Editors<br/>Marie Simonetti Rosen<br/>Dorothy Moses Schulz<br/>M.

Such a limited depiction illustrates the problematic conflation of gender roles and sexual orientation, raising important questions about the relationship between the two. The articles collected in this volume represent an attempt to understand how contemporary gay men in the United States engage in, contest, and modify controlling notions of masculinity. Peter Nardi, with contributions from leading scholars in the field of gay studies, examines the ways in which gay men develop a sense of masculine identity, with a special emphasis on the every day lives of gay men. These essays consider a great range of issues, from gay masculine identity in business, church, home, and community, to interpersonal relationships of gay men.
