Squire and Jackman have produced the fresh take on political geography for which undergraduates have been waiting. Political geography is more than ever in the news, and students looking for the conceptual tools to make sense of it need look no further: from decolonisation movements, to our relationships to technology and the digital, to the contestation of popular culture, this book has it all. And crucially, it has hope – something that can be in short supply these days. -- Jason Dittmer This impressive textbook makes important and complex ideas understandable and interesting [to students]. It strikes the delicate balance between political urgency and pastoral sensitivity, presenting important topics of violence and inequality alongside hopeful resources for peaceful and sustainable futures.  -- Nick Megoran

Anna’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-funded research project ‘Diversifying Drone Stories’ engaged with a range of stakeholders (including emergency services, lawyers, industry, local authorities, pilots, and members of the public) to explore the diverse use, perception, and impact of drones in changing UK airspace.
