Adams seeks to demonstrate the way in which geographical approaches can offer opportunities for analysis of familiar and less familiar aspects of communication. Themes are organised in a four-part structure of media in spaces, spaces in media, media in places and places in media. The "cultural turn" in geography, Adams argues, is the result of geographers' growing awareness of a variety of theories about communication.
