The Power of Place (RLE Social & Cultural Geography)
Reflecting the revival of interest in a social theory that takes place and space seriously, this book focuses on geographical place in the practice of social science and history. There is significant interest among scholars from a range of disciplines in bringing together the geographical and sociological ‘imaginations’. The geographical imagination is a concrete and descriptive one, concerned with determining the nature of places, and classifyin…
A review of the evolution and state of transboundary freshwater treaties
Climate change and the institutional resilience of international river basins
In the existing 276 international river basins, the increase in water variability projected by most climate change scenarios may present serious challenges to riparian states. This research maps the institutional resilience to water variability in transboundary basins and combines it with both historic and projected variability regimes, with the objective of identifying areas at potential risk of future hydropolitical tension. To do so, it combs …

Reconceptualizing the Idea of Culture in Geography
culture concept in the 'new cultural geography'. It is a fine statement of the dangers of reifying culture on the part of geographers who may be tempted to use it as an explanatory variable rather than studying how the category of culture operates in practice. In other words, as geographers, we should be studying the reification of culture rather than reifying the concept of culture ourselves. Mitchell presents his paper as a critique of the work…

Understanding of Understanding
This study investigates sixth form students' understanding of "understanding" in the context of learning in chemistry. Thirty-nine randomly selected students of low, average and high school achievement and their six chemistry teachers were interviewed and their classes were observed. Two orientations toward understanding, the recognition of order within the subject matter (a coherence orientation) and the ability to recall relevant information (a…
Assessment of African Self-Consciousness among Black Students from Two College Environments
This research investigated the relationship between social cultural setting and background characteristics to African self-consciousness (ASC) as measured by the ASC Scale. Two hundred fifty Black college students, half from pre dominantly Black Florida A&M University (FAMU) and half from predominantly White Florida State University (FSU), were administered the ASC Scale and a background questionnaire. The findings revealed that: (a) FAMU stu den…
Structural Marxism and Human Geography
This paper assesses critically both the strong theoretical claims and the empirical work of a number of structural marxists in analyzing the geography of advanced societies. Such work offers a holistic mode of explanation that has important philosophical affinities with Hegelian idealism. In explanation, reified entities such as capital are treated as the formal cause while people are regarded as the efficient cause, the mere carriers of a struct…

Landscape Taste as a Symbol of Group Identity
OCIAL scientists have suggested that the landscape in which an individual lives is a major factor in his self-perception and in the image he presents to society.1 One should be able, therefore, to identify different socioeconomic groups on the basis of residential landscapes. This has been done often in order to differentiate income and ethnic areas;2 however, far less obvious social differences may also be expressed in residential landscape choi…
