Review :
"Each chapter effectively conveys ideas about, strategies for, and implications of geographical thinking for a given context. Whether a reader is a recent arrival to the scholarship around geographical thinking, or is very familiar with such work, this book provides an opportunity to confirm, deepen, extend, and challenge their understanding and practice. ... I encourage all who are involved in geography education to ensure The Power of Geographical Thinking becomes or remains priority reading." (Susan Caldis, Curriculum Perspectives, Vol. 41 (1), 2021) "Every once and a while you get a textbook and go Wow! That really is valuable to me and my students! Well, it is 'double wow!' ... . It is not only a most valuable addition to the library of in service and preservice teachers, and academics, but a book really worth the investment of time to engage with as a valuable resource and use to further enhance our practices - both in teaching and researching in geographical education." (Ken Purnell, Geographical Education, Vol. 31, 2018)
