The essays collected in Geography and Revolution explore two broad themes: the geography of revolution and geography in revolution. The former uses the discipline of geography to better understand the processes at work in various revolutions—technological, social, political. The latter focuses on how geographic knowledge and concepts are used or presented in the context of the various types of revolution.

Book Review (http://www.christianitytoday.com/bc/2008/004/18.10.html)

This book looks very interesting indeed - a whole new perspective for me to see the concept of revolution (scientific, political and technological) as 'grounded' by place. This suggests that 'place' plays a very large part in the sociology of culture.
