The AAG Review of Books

Featuring scholarly reviews of current books which are either geographic in sensitivities or are reviewed and interpreted through the multiple lenses that geography offers, the online journal offers a number of different formats, including the standard review of one book, a review essay in which the reviewer reflects upon a number of books on a particular theme, and the book review fora where multiple contributors discuss a newly published text. Published quarterly, each new issue makes two reviews freely available, and all content becomes free after one year. Book reviews were formerly published in the AAG’s flagship journals, Annals of the AAG and The Professional Geographer, but in 2013 these were brought together in this journal in order to offer greater scope for discussion and consideration of new texts.

Book review solicitation

Book reviews are written on invitation from the editorial office, although the Editor does welcome suggestions, particularly those pertaining to geographically significant works written by scholars in other disciplines. To suggest a recently-published book to review or to volunteer to review a book from our New Books for Geographers book lists, please contact the Editor.

If you have been invited to review a book for the journal, please consult the Guidelines for Reviewers regarding manuscript preparation and style.

She is an Associate Professor in Human Geography at the University of Oxford, UK, jointly appointed between the School of Geography and the Environment, and the Sustainable Urban Development (Department of Continuing Education) program. She completed her master’s degree (Geography, with distinction) at King’s College London in 2010, PhD at the University of Otago (New Zealand) in December 2013, and postdoctoral training at the Centre for Sustainability (Otago, New Zealand, 2014-2016), and the Transport Studies Unit, University of Oxford (2016-2017).
