Since it was first published in 1972, 'The Study of Urban Geography' has established itself as the most coherent and extensive account of its subject. Its central purpose is the distillation of a wide range of work, much of it original research, into an effective synthesis of contemporary urban geography.In this new edition, Harold Carter has substantially revised and updated the text. He has also added six new chapters on places - periodic, central, and dispersed; town plan and layout; urban location of economic activity; the city centre; the articulation of residential areas; and the housing market in western countries.

The study of urban geography

John Wiley&Sons

Language serves as both a symbol and a definer of culture. The well-being and integrity of a culture depend heavily on the strength and vitality of its associated language. It is for this reason that the process of language change within particular cultures needs to be monitored and scrutinized. This volume is a map-based analysis of patterns of language change, specifically the Welsh language. It concludes that the prime influences on the language derive from the large-scale socio-economic changes which have taken place in western society as a whole since the end of World War II.

A Geography of the Welsh Language, 1961-1991

Aitchison, John

University of Wales Press

In this new edition the authors present new sets of language data both for individuals and for households in Wales and examine the impact of migration on the language, the relationship between social class and ability to speak Welsh, and the bases for the reproduction and maintenance of the language within the context of the family. The final chapter considers the prospects for the language in the light of new political and institutional developments (including the National Assembly for Wales), recent planning issues (most notably housing) and developments in the critically important field of education.
This book is an essential reference source for those concerned with the changing status and vitality of the Welsh language and of other minority languages in Europe. It provides a framework and a factual context in which to set such issues as language planning and policy formulation at local and national levels.

An Introduction to Urban Historical Geography

The 19th century, liberally interpreted as the period 1750-1914, saw not only an industrial but an urban revolution. A complete transformation took place both in the city system and the internal structure of towns. That transformation established the basic lineaments of present day urban Britain and a range of problems which is still apparent. The purpose of the book is to examine that transformation, to establish the processes which were operative and set out the inheritance which it gave to the contemporary urban pattern.
