This book is a one-stop comprehensive guide to geographical inquiry. The volume:

  • traces the step-by-step account of the whys and the hows of research methodology;
  • introduces complexities of the geographical perspective, selection of research topic, choice of supervisor and formulation of research proposal;
  • fine-tunes the sequence of data collection, analysis, representation and interpretation, and spells out the skill of writing research with geographic flavour; and
  • reinforces concepts and ideas with examples so as not to leave any scope for ambiguity.

The second edition updates on the variety of emerging perspectives in geographic research, use of spatial technologies in practice, sampling at different spatial levels and insightful interpretation of data.

Lucid, engaging and accessible, this book will be an essential companion for researchers and students of geography, social sciences and South Asian studies.
