Review Quotes: What a theme - and what a collection. Cultural Geographies of Love and Catastrophe offers its readers stories of love in many forms, and never wavers from its conviction and purpose in exploring how love and catastrophe are always intertwined. And always geographical too, as we learn how love and catastrophe stitch and unravel spaces, temporalities and subjectivities. This will be essential reading for researchers and students in cultural geography and well beyond.--John Wylie, University of Bristol
