Drawing on anthropological, sociological and cultural readings of food consumption, as well as empirical material on shopping, cooking, food technology and...

Contributors: Shane Blackman,...

Threaded through this empirical diversity, is a common engagement with current debates about the nature of childhood. The...

"Key Texts in Human Geography will surely become a 'key text' itself. Read any chapter and you will want to compare it with another. Before you realize, an afternoon is gone and then you are tracking down the...
