Welcome from the Editors
Welcome to the RGS-IBG Book Series! Launched in 2000 under the Editorship of Nick Henry and Jon Sadler, this is a series quite unlike almost any other in geography. The emphasis is on research not on teaching, and on authored not on edited monographs. In its eight years the Series has published eighteen books. There are another six in the pipeline for this year, and we have more commissioned for publication in 2009 and 2010. We took over as editors in 2006 and are committed to the series publishing the very best of international academic scholarship, from geography and cognate disciplines. So, if you have an idea for a book please consult our guidelines. They advise you on what we need from you in your proposal. This website also contains other useful information: Series news; endorsements from series authors; a list of forthcoming books; details of what happens to a proposal once you submit it to the Series; and the make-up of the Editorial Board.
If you have anymore questions about the Series please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Joanna Bullard (Editor, Physical Geography: J.E.Bullard@lboro.ac.uk) and Kevin Ward (Editor, Human Geography: kevin.ward@manchester.ac.uk)

The Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers is the learned society and professional body for geography and geographers.

About the Book Series:
The Book Series only publishes work of the highest international standing. Its emphasis is on distinctive new developments in human and physical geography, although it is also open to contributions from cognate disciplines whose interests overlap with those of geographers. The Series places strong emphasis on theoretically-informed and empirically-strong texts. Reflecting the vibrant and diverse theoretical and empirical agendas that characterize the contemporary discipline, contributions are expected to inform, challenge and stimulate the reader. Overall, the RGS-IBG Book Series seeks to promote scholarly publications that leave an intellectual mark and change the way readers think about particular issues, methods or theories.
