A general book with a broad perspective on methods complemented with nice and practical examples.
This is a wonderful text for students approaching their independent study projects and dissertations. The text includes a variety of approaches for doing research in Geography and offers essential insights and reflections on the reasons for using certain methods and the implications of using them.
Landscape Architecture covers a wide range of disciplines, from Arts, Humanities and Sciences, this book covers the basic steps in setting up a research project extremely well, and these are just as applicable in Landscape Architecture as Geography. The structure and sequence is excellent, tips in chapter 4 are helpful and the chapters on technology such as GIS and the chapters on Spatial Data and on Audit are very helpful for anyone considering topics on larger scale Landscape Planning.
An indispensable guide to Key Methods in Geography. Inspirational.
Highly recommended for getting an up-to-date overview on (as the title suggests) key methods in geosciences.
