Islands and their environs - aerial, terrestrial, aquatic - may be
understood as intensifiers, their particular and distinctive
geographies enabling concentrated study of many kinds of challenges
and opportunities. This edited collection brings together several
emerging and established academics with expertise in island
studies, as well as interest in geopolitics, governance, adaptive
capacity, justice, equity, self-determination, environmental care
and protection, and land management. Individually and together,
their perspectives provide theoretically useful, empirically
grounded evidence of the contributions human geographers can make
to knowledge and understanding of island places and the place of
islands. Nine chapters engage with the themes, issues, and ideas
that characterise the borderlands between island studies and human
geography and allied fields, and are contributed by authors for
whom matters of place, space, environment, and scale are key, and
for whom islands hold an abiding fascination. The penultimate
chapter is rather more experimental - a conversation among these
authors and the editor - while the last chapter offers timely
reflections upon island geographies' past and future, penned by the
first named professor of island geography, Stephen Royle.
