Product Review
"Economic Geography: A Contemporary Introduction brings teaching and learning in economic geography into the twenty-first century. Nothing like it has been written before. The text uses the whole world for its illustrations, and its open-minded theoretical sensibility resonates perfectly with the discipline. Economic geography has a text appropriate for the world in which we now live."
Trevor Barnes, University of British Columbia
"At long last, a new, innovative, thought-provoking, introductory economic geography text - one that combines current theoretical insights with an impressive array of issue-based empirical examples drawn from across the world. Challenging and stimulating - Coe, Kelly, and Yeung have set a new standard."
Peter Dicken, University of Manchester
"An exciting, comprehensive and accessible introductory text to economic geography which will excite, engage and capture the imagination of students."
Journal of Economic Geography
"At last, an accessible, engaging, well-written, student-friendly economic geography textbook. The real beauty is the quality and clarity of the writing." Times Higher Education
"Covering the variety and complexity of the multiple themes and sub-themes that constitute the undergraduate field of economic geography to a functional level, requires a very meticulous, succinct and well-versed narrative - something which this book achieves with a great deal of verve Any lecturers looking to revamp their core book choice for any economic geography module, to a book that can engage students and force them to think critically and spatially about the economic world around them, would be hard pushed to find a better contribution than this."
Economic Geography Research Group
"A very strong overview of the contemporary economic debates keeps the interest levels high."
