Economic geography is a sub-discipline that uses a geographical approach to study the economy. It is a vibrant and exciting branch of geography. Its name would suggest that economic geography lies somewhere between, or at the overlap of, the disciplines of geography and economics. This is true to some extent. In fact, both geographers and economists use the term 'economic geography'. However, they mean different things by it. Indeed, it is important to stress from the outset that the approach that geographers are using to study the economy is very different from that used by most economists. Geography and transportation intersect in terms of the movement of peoples, goods, and information. Over time, accessibility has increased and this has led to a greater reliance on mobility. This trend could be traced back to the industrial revolution although it has significantly accelerated in the second half of the 20th century for various reasons. Economic geology is studied and practiced by geologists. However it is of prime interest to investment bankers, stock analysts and other professions such as engineers, environmental scientists, and conservationists because of the far-reaching impact that extractive industries have on society, the economy, and the environment. Students, after going through the book, would have an elaborate insight into the subject covered.
