%X Although the relationship between Geography and the military is long-standing and well researched, books dealing with this applied sub-discipline of geography exclusively remain rare. As such, the International handbook Military Geography is both a welcome addition to a rather sparse collection of Military Geography literature, as well as a uniquely European perspective to an otherwise American-dominated body of literature. Fifty-two contributions by authors from seven different European countries appear in this publication. The stated aim of the book is to ˇ°present selected activities and products of the military geographic community as well as important and relevant activities and products of institutions outside of this communityˇ± The authors describe the purpose of the book as ˇ°[to] show the plurality of activities and products to the [military geographic] community itself, and the armed forces in general, but also to the wider public for better understanding of what military geography deals with and what it can provide.ˇ±
