Methods in Human Geography: A Guide for Students Doing a Research Project provides an essential guide to current research approaches in human geography. It covers all aspects of undertaking a geography research project, from the selection of an appropriate topic through to the organisation and writing of the final report.

Many students find it difficult to select and use appropriate techniques when preparing research projects as part of their geography degree programme. Methods in Human Geography has been written by a team of active researchers, each expert in their particular methodological approaches and experienced dissertation supervisors. The second edition of this popular text includes updated commentary and entirely new chapters reflecting the changing nature of human geography research.
