essence
Michel Foucault once said that geography was at the heart of his concerns. If you want to understand the depths of Foucault's geographical thought, and understand the critical exploration of him by Foucault researchers, then this collection of essays is an inextricable and exciting guide.

This book elaborates on Foucault's ideas on geography and space in an attractive form, and Foucault researchers will be excited and even surprised to see a different side of Foucault! This book will soon become an important text for all geographers, and for all those interested in Foucault's spatial ideas and their broad impact on social science and cultural theory.

Space, Knowledge and Power: Foucault and Geography
The most complete summary and response to Foucault's geographical thought, understanding the depths of Foucault's geographical thought.
For the first time, this book includes important unpublished sections of Foucault's ideas on geography, as well as important responses from prominent scholars in French and English to Foucault's core geography problems.
This book is a collection of essays examining Foucault's relationship with geography and includes the work of more than a dozen authors. Foucault has published a great deal on local, spatial, urban and rural planning, and has had a great influence on geography, but has not produced a monograph on this subject. This book, which collects and reviews Foucault's research in these areas, is by far the best reference material for our overview of Foucault's ideas on geography.
