This Very Short Introduction answers four basic questions: what is
Geography, how do geographers work, why is Geography important, and
where is the discipline of Geography heading? Geography has always
been important, though it has had only a short history as an
academic discipline and is much misunderstood. Modern Geography has
come a long way from its historical roots in exploring foreign
lands, in mapping the world and in describing the physical and
human features of the Earth's surface. There are two parts to the
discipline: Physical Geography, which covers natural environments
and landscapes; and Human Geography, which investigates people and
the cultural landscape. Physical and human geographers commonly do
not agree with each other. But there are also common elements and
Geography as a whole has an important role as a bridge between the
sciences and the humanities. Using wide-ranging examples, the book
paints a broad picture of the current state of Geography, its
subject matter, concepts and methods, how it developed, and its
strengths and weaknesses. The book's conclusion is no less than a
manifesto for Geography's future.
