"""This terrific book, now in its third iteration, is as relevant today as ever. It offers wonderfully engaging commentary on the enduring concerns of territory and territoriality across the world, and events of recent years are given particular attention in an insightful and brilliantly illustrative manner. Territorial logics and practices still matter – from the epidemiology of global pandemics to the ecological excesses of late modern capitalism, from the resurgence of populist nationalism to the geopolitics of war – and Territories shows us why."" John Morrissey, University of Galway, Ireland. ""We live in a deeply territorialized world. This book is the best introduction to its forms and features, its processes and problems. With clear prose and compelling cases, Storey shows us how territories shape who we are and how we think."" Gerard Toal, Virginia Tech, USA. ""This book is simply without peer. It covers all the ground that is needed for a conceptual survey. It does so both clearly and with many insightful examples."" John Agnew, UCLA, USA. ""David Storey’s Territories has been for a long time the best introductory text presenting the wide scope of this critical term. The third, updated edition of the book pushes the contribution of the earlier editions further, providing the reader with a thorough and well-illustrated discussion on the functions territory and territoriality at and across spatial scales, as well as on territory’s relations to contested power relations, identities, and ideologies embedded in various territorial strategies and practices. This book can be highly recommended to researchers and students who try to cope with our conflict-ridden world and its multiple dividing-lines and zones."" Anssi Paasi, Geography Research Unit, University of Oulu, Finland."
