"An excellent, timely, and provocative book—a must-read for students of economic and social geography. This book examines a wide range of alternative economic spaces from retail and finance to life style. All of the chapters are, without exception, well written, and many are based on detailed empirical research, often using innovative comparative case studies along with other methods."
Padraig Carmody, Department of Geography
"An excellent text for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in economic geography or the other social sciences."
