Reviews

'A well-deserved celebration of economic geography's seminal contributions to globalization studies' - Michael Storper, University of California, Los Angeles As with many collections, this book is a mixed bag. At its best, it makes a vigorous case for a geographical understanding of globalization. It rests on the importance of place, making the book a particularly fitting testament. -- Trevor J. Barnes, Deaprtment of Geography
