Nature, many geographers agree, is a concept central to geographical inquiry. What fewer geographers agree on, however, is the meaning of the word ‘nature’. Complex, polysemic, multifarious, ambiguous, misunderstood, contested, politicised – these are a few of the words that have been used to describe the concept of nature in geography. Ripples in the Storm is a survey that traces the idea of nature as it developed and cycled through time and through geographical thought and writings – from geography’s beginnings as a discipline, to present-day currents and debates revolving around questions of nature, culture and society. The book is also a celebration of sorts in recognition of the richness and diversity of the discipline of geography – a diversity within which the author outlines a pattern to help students of geography, and readers interested in geography and nature, make sense of the complexity and ambiguity of the nature concept.
