<p>“The editors have done an outstanding job of representing, through the collection of chapters in the Companion, economic geography in all its guises, with chapters being authored by both more and less senior figures (albeit as the editors admit with a bias toward the Euro-American world in terms of where the scholars practice) . . . indeed, through the efforts of the editors to assemble a broad array of contributors, and in turn the endeavors of these contributors to capture the vibrancy, relevance, and importance of scholarship in their areas, the Companion manages to effectively portray a subdiscipline that economic geographers will recognize and many outsiders will (one hopes) be intrigued and excited by.”  (<i>Economic Geography</i>, 7 October 2013)</p> <p>“This most recent Companion to Economic Geography is an impressive reminder of the diverse, restless nature of economic geography in meeting its mandate to describe, explain and shape the remarkable (and changing) geographic diversity of the global economy and its integration.”  (<i>Regional Studies</i>, 1 July 2013)</p> <p>“The Companionis an excellent and timely contribution that simultaneously maps the past, present, and possible futures of economic geography. The Companionis an important text for all geographers, not just those willing to call themselves ‘economic’."  (<i>Geographical Research</i>, 1 May 2013) </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Barnes</b> has been at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, since 1983, and is currently Professor and Distinguished University Scholar.  He is the author or editor of nine books, including <i>Politics and Practice in Economic Geography</i>. <i>Reading Economic Geography, A Companion to Economic Geography</i>, and <i>Logics of Dislocation</i>. </p> <p><b>Jamie Peck</b> is Canada Research Chair in Urban & Regional Political Economy and Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia.  He is the author or editor of eleven books, including <i>Fast Policy,</i> <i>Constructions of Neoliberal Reason, Politics and Practice in Economic Geography, Contesting Neoliberalism: Urban Frontiers,</i> and <i>Reading Economic Geography</i>. </p> <b>Eric Sheppard</b> is the Alexander von Humboldt Chair in the Department of Geography at UCLA.

<p>This comprehensive overview of the field is the successor to the successful and highly regarded <i>Companion to Economic Geography</i> published by Blackwell over a decade earlier.   </p> <p>In a clear and accessible format, the authors provide a guide to research across the relevant topics of economic geography since the original companion was published, focusing on developments since 2000 and drawing on the expertise of a new generation of scholars. </p> <p>In three sections, the book examines the evolution of economic geography, reviews recent work, and explores areas of overlap between economic geography and cognate disciplines. </p> <p>It addresses the growing diversity of the field, its increasingly international make-up, and the major areas of debate, including economic questions about what societies produce and consume; political questions about how governance shapes production and consumption; and social and cultural questions about how identities shape economic processes. </p> <p><i>The Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Economic Geography</i> presents students and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the state of the field, from a prestigious editorial team, with contributions from an international cast of prominent scholars.</p>
<p>This vital, innovative, and provocative collection is a stunning achievement, challenging conventional views and extending the boundaries of ‘the economic’ in exciting ways. It will surely become required reading for all geographers, and not just those of us who call ourselves economic geographers.<br /><b>Linda McDowell, University of Oxford</b></p>
