Review from previous edition Overall, this is an excellent book. Like a handbook, it brings together excellent essays from some of the most eminent scholars in the field. This text should become an essential source of reference for students and academics and for professionals in the development trade, and will be much referenced and cited in the future - a must for economic geography libraries. Entrepreneurship and Innovation
