Place: A Short Introduction (Blackwell, 2004)

Cresswell has been one of the key contributors of his generation to our understanding of place, especially through his inspiring book in place/out of place. He is well known for his thorough but normally very intelligible texts that often challenge our tradition thinking and also include new, exciting alternatives to it. This small book is not an exception.

(Progress in Human Geography)

At last-  a concise, meticulously  structured, student-friendly introduction to one of geography’s foundational concepts: place. …Cresswell has gived us a near-perfect undergraduate introductory text on a central geographical concept.
