Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 36 focuses on
20th-century Britain and 19th- and 20th-century France. Six essays
on individual geographers are complemented by a group article which
describes the building of a French school of geography. From
Britain, the life of Sir Peter Hall, one of the most distinguished
geographers of recent times and a man widely known outside the
discipline, is set alongside memoirs of Bill Mead, who made the
rich geography of the Nordic countries come alive to geographers
and others in the Anglophone world; Michael John Wise and Stanley
Henry Beaver, who made their mark through building up the
institutions where academic geography was practised and through
teaching; and Anita McConnell, whose geographical training shaped
her museum curation and studies of the history of science. From
France, the individual biography of Andre Meynier is juxtaposed
with group article on the first five professors of geography at
Clermont-Ferrand. These intellectual biographies collectively show
geography and geographers profoundly affected by wider historical
events: the effect of war, particularly the Second World War, and
the shaping of post-war society. They show the value of
geographical scholarship in elucidating local circumstances and in
planning national conditions, and as a basis for local, national,
and international friendship.
