Maps of Meaning (Paperback, New edition)

As a geographical introduction to cultural studies, this innovative book marks a significant departure from traditional approaches to cultural geography. Instead of emphasizing the evolution of cultural landscapes and the interpretation of past environments, it draws on the literature of contemporary social and cultural theory, focusing on urban as well as rural environments, and on popular culture as well as on vernacular architecture, folkstyles and the culture of the elite.
