'Space, Knowledge and Power: Foucault and Geography elaborates Foucault's thinking about geography and space in fascinating ways. Foucault scholars will be delighted and perhaps amazed to see this side of Foucault, and the book will immediately become an essential text for all geographers and everyone interested in Foucault's understanding of space and its broader influence in the social sciences and social and cultural theory.' John Pickles, University of North Carolina, USA 'For anyone interested in Foucault, geography and space, this is the essential reference work. This outstanding and comprehensive collection brings together for the first time, not only original texts by Foucault, but also the work of French and Anglophone commentators and authorities in the area. An invaluable and beautifully organized resource, highly recommended for both students and scholars alike.'

Choice '...it avoids the trap of hyper-reflexivity which would harm the quality of the work...the most enriching aspect of this volume is clearly that it identifies that Foucault's reflections represent a veritable goldmine for geographers and anyone interested in questions of space.' a contrario '...those who are even remotely interested in Foucault will find this book to be most helpful in their scholarly pursuits.' Foucault Studies 'A must buy for geography students and professionals that bears witness, with one of the most profound thinkers of the 20th century, to the inherent (and inherently complex) spatiality of history and social life.' Cultural Geographies 'This is a thoughtful and imaginative undertaking, replete with utile index...Recommended.' G. J. Martin, emeritus, Southern Connecticut State University 'a
