The twenty-seventh volume of Geographers: Biobibliographical
Studies includes essays covering the geographical work and lasting
significance of eight individuals between the late sixteenth
century and the early twentieth century. The essays cover early
modern geography, cartography and astronomy, geography's
connections with late Renaissance humanism and religious politics,
'armchair geography' and textual enquiry in African geography,
medical mapping and Siberian travel, human ecology in the Vidalian
tradition, radical political geography in twentieth-century USA,
American agricultural geography and cultural-historical geography
in Japan and in India. In these essays, GBS continues to provide
detailed insight into the richness of geography's intellectual
traditions and the diversity of geographers' lives.
