Synopsis This book, written as an introductory manual, provides students of geography with a comprehensive text which covers nearly all aspects of the field. Social geography brings within its purview such aspects as cultural, historical, economic, political, urban and population geography, all of which provide different dimensions of understanding society within geographical limits.

The book explores what entails the field, how the field originated and developed, and the reciprocating, continuous relationship between society and geography. It also looks into the issues that surround the field, including those of problems with segregation and discrimination within populations, socio-spatial variations in health, economics and politics, analysis of crime patterns etc., All of these are meant to serve an in-depth understanding of the field, and these are further aided by the coloured illustrations and up-to-date content on current trends and practices in the field.
