Culture in Regional Geography Education: Contested Issues of Identity and Meaning

The deeper meanings and manifestations of culture are explored through application of methods from new social theory. A central theme throughout the book is the central theme is that culture is pervasive, adaptable and a limiting dynamic that exists in plurality and accent within any context of place.
