Product Description
This is a comprehensive survey of the field of political geography, but it goes far beyond traditional topics. No other book of its kind covers topics such as: anomalous political units, special purpose districts, indigenous peoples, outlaws and merchants of death, Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, to name a few. It is tightly packed with facts, ideas, suggestions, anecdotes and illustrations.

 Take it from a student of Fahrer... January 17, 2007

I attend Georgia College and State University and my Political Geography teacher just so happens to be Dr. Chuck Fahrer, author of this book. Take it from me, You have never met a man with such a passion for Geography! If other teachers use his work as an appriopriate learning tool they should get a lot out of it. Its very well put together and is extremely easy to comprehend. If Geography is your cup of tea, then you need to sit down with Dr. Fahrer's text and enlighten yourself!

It is quite interesting and covers a large number of areas. It expanded my knowledge. Also, buying it used is very inexpensive.

If you are looking for a solid text book in the field of Political Geography, Mr. Glassner book is the one for you. Easy to read and well organized, a novice will get a lot out of this book. I would also recommend this book for those in the fields of Political Science, Economics and History for it lays out the fundamentals, of a significant school of thought, in 18th and 19th C Europe early state-relations. But, if you already understand the basics of Political Geography and are looking to expand your understanding of the origin, its under lying philosophy or the actors who developed and played a substantial role in the development of this subject -- save your money. For the serious students of Political Geography there are a couple of chapters that may be of interest to you but, only a few and it's not worth the money.
But what I truly believe is the best part of the book is the reference section at the end of each chapter. There is a wealth of information in the reference section for the student of Political Geography, which can prove to be invaluable when doing research.
