Recent years have witnessed a rapid rise in engagement with emotion and affect across a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with geographers making a significant contribution by examining the emotional intersections between people and places. Following on from 'Emotional Geographies' (2005), the editors have brought together leading geographers such as Nigel Thrift, Alphonso Lingis and Chris Philo as well as from young, up and coming academics from a range of disciplines to investigate feelings and affect in various spatial and social contexts, environments and landscapes. The book is divided into three sections covering the themes of natures, cultures and histories of emotion.
