In The Geography of Southeast Asia, Rumney discusses an area that has long been of interest to geographers and other academics. As interest in Southeast Asia has grown, particularly over the past forty years, the volume and variety of scholarly publications on the varied geographical aspects of the region have also increased. This collection is an attempt to identify, organize, and present as many of these works as possible. The region as a whole, and each individual country of the area, are covered in individual chapters. Each chapter is further systematically organized by topic, including general works, cultural-social geography, economic geography, historical geography, physical geography, political geography, and urban geography. This book presents a myriad of sources, such as atlases, books, chapters, articles, dissertations, and theses are included, as well as works written in English, French, German, and other languages, providing the reader with a thorough view of Southeast Asian geography.

Thomas A. Rumney earned geography degrees from the State University of New York-Oneonta (B.S.-1969), the University of Illinois (M.A.-1971), and the University of Maryland (Ph.D.-1980). He is a professor of geography at Plattsburgh State University and teaches the about geography of Southeast Asia, economic geography, historical geography, and other regional geographies.
