The geography of man's struggle to make a living or Economic Geography is one of the most important sub-disciplines of Geography. It concerns itself with the production, use and reproduction of the social and material conditions of man's existence. The economic process is inseparable from cultural and social structure and therefore the levels and nature of development have to be examined in the physio-historical and cultural background. Now a day's geographers are establishing causal connections between the process of development and underdevelopment. The present book based upon twenty research papers written by the leading experts of Economic Geography has been prepared to examine the growth and development of this sub-discipline; Theory and Practice of Economic Geography; Agricultural Systems of the World; Approaches to the Study of Territorial Structure; Economic Regionalisation. There are few papers based upon empirical studies; products and processes, the supply and market context, the labour costs, employment growth, problems associated with plant closure, collective consumption and the Basic Economic Regions. There is a substantial transformation in the literature produced in the pre and post World War II periods. It is hoped the difference may be clearly understood by going through the cogently and lucidly written papers embodied in this volume. It also provides a comprehensive and critical commentary upon the recent trends in Economic Geography. The book is commended to the teachers and students of geography to give them an indepth knowledge of the nature scope and constraints of Economic Geography.
