Erratum
There is an error in the first paragraph of the review of Tyner's The Killing of Cambodia: Geography, Genocide and the Unmasking of Space in volume 26, issue 6, pages 1228 – 1229. The second sentence should read "This book signals the arrival of Cambodia into mainstream theoretical debates within geography. In it Tyner sets out to understand 'the geographic imaginations constructed by state actors and how, in turn, these are used to justify "genocidal" practices' (page 3)." The editors and publishers apologise for this error.
