This text explores different aspects of the spatial upheavals that lie behind the latest wave of globalization based on Western values. The first chapter introduces basic notions of distance and movement as well as the idea that accelerated change in such things as the rapidity of information flows and instantaneous communications is making the world smaller. Students are introduced to Harvey's time-space compression thesis, linking it to traditional geographical concerns about space in terms of how to cross it.

A shrinking world?
Dated, but that's not too surprising, considering this was published in 1984.
Comes from a secular viewpoint, so as a Christian, I did not agree with a lot of the author's advice. For instance, she says that older women should not marry younger men, but only take them as lovers; that way they get the benefits of being with a younger man without people looking down on her. She assumes that all couples have sex before marriage (no, there are still some of us that stick to traditional values). She basically views marriage as a contract or business merger with constant negotiations, rather than a covenant.
Whether you find this book useful or not will depend on how you view marriage.
