Bøger af Tim Cresswell

Plastiglomerate finds our world in the midst of environmental disaster: from plastic pollution and wrecked shipping to fires in the Amazon rainforest. It completes a trilogy of poetry books that examines mankind's impact on the earth.

Maxwell Street sheds light on a historic Chicago neighborhood and offers a new model for how to write about place, approaching the study of place as an "assemblage" of things, meanings, and practices.

Geographic Thought: A Critical Introduction presents an engaging and accessible account of the major thinkers and key theoretical developments in the field of human geography.

This edited volume brings together leading academics to provide a revitalized 'geography of Mobilities', informed by the wider 'mobility turn' adopted across the social sciences and humanities. It makes connections between the seemingly disparate worlds of migration, transport and tourism.

Focuses on the intersection of mobility, social justice and gender. This volume argues that, though constraints in accessibility can produce restricted mobility, the range of factors constraining women's mobility goes beyond transport, covering an entire range of social, cultural, religious, economic, ethnic, and political factors and processes.

What is the relationship between place and behaviour? In this volume, the author examines this question via "transgressive acts" that are judged as inappropriate not only because they are committed by marginalized groups but also because of where they occur.

Fence is an epic of fragments that is at once beautiful and beautifully strange. In his exploration of the vast, frozen Svalbard islands, poet and geographer Tim Cresswell has created a kind of travel poetry whose taut, minimalist lyric synthesises subjects as diverse as history, politics and Arctic ecology.

Geography and language collide in Soil by Tim Cresswell. His poems delight in the strange, situated at the cusp of natural and urban. A fox climbs a London skyscraper; municipal trees are displaced from their mountain habitats; sandworts take root in abandoned mine shafts; geological time is glimpsed through the 'crushed structures' of the city.
