About
Rural Geography is an introduction to contemporary rural societies and economies in the developed world. It examines the social and economic processes at work in the contemporary countryside - including the more traditional: like agriculture; land use; and population; as well as wider themes like: rural health, crime, exclusion, commodification; and alternative lifestyles.
With a contextualising section defining the rural, the text is organised systematically in three principal sections:
• Processes of Rural Restructuring
• Responses to Rural Restructuring
• Experiences of Rural Restructuring
Using the most recent empirical material, statistical data and research, the text is global in perspective using comparative examples throughout. Rural Geography is a systematic introduction to the processes, responses, and experiences of rural restructuring.
