Reviews

The editors have done an outstanding job of representing,through the collection of chapters in the Companion, economicgeography in all its guises, with chapters being authored by bothmore and less senior figures (albeit as the editors admit with abias toward the Euro-American world in terms of where the scholarspractice) ... indeed, through the efforts of the editors toassemble a broad array of contributors, and in turn the endeavorsof these contributors to capture the vibrancy, relevance, andimportance of scholarship in their areas, the Companion manages toeffectively portray a subdiscipline that economic geographers willrecognize and many outsiders will (one hopes) be intrigued andexcited by. (Economic Geography, 7 October2013) This most recent Companion to Economic Geography is animpressive reminder of the diverse, restless nature of economicgeography in meeting its mandate to describe, explain and shape theremarkable (and changing) geographic diversity of the globaleconomy and its integration. (Regional Studies,1 July 2013) The Companionis an excellent and timely contribution thatsimultaneously maps the past, present, and possible futures ofeconomic geography. The Companionis an important text for allgeographers, not just those willing to call themselves economic ." (Geographical Research, 1 May2013)
