The AAG Review of Books

Featuring scholarly reviews of current books which are either geographic in sensitivities or are reviewed and interpreted through the multiple lenses that geography offers, the online journal offers a number of different formats, including the standard review of one book, a review essay in which the reviewer reflects upon a number of books on a particular theme, and the book review fora where multiple contributors discuss a newly published text. Published quarterly, each new issue makes two reviews freely available, and all content becomes free after one year. Book reviews were formerly published in the AAG’s flagship journals, Annals of the AAG and The Professional Geographer, but in 2013 these were brought together in this journal in order to offer greater scope for discussion and consideration of new texts.

To suggest a recently-published book to review or to volunteer to review a book from our New Books for Geographers book lists, please contact the editor.

If you have been invited to review a book for the journal, please consult the Guidelines for Reviewers and the AI Policy regarding manuscript preparation and style.
