The proposed book is not only a tribute to the work of Bruckner
(and indeed also a personal tribute, since Bruckner wrote his book
at the Institute of Geography of the University of Bern), but
references to Bruckner's book are also a conceptual tool in the
proposed book, though used sparingly and thoughtfully. Apart from
providing historical context, references may facilitate introducing
some complex topics, for instance by first presenting Bruckner's
view and then complementing the picture with today's understanding.
References can be used for contrast: Comparing Bruckner's methods
and data with today's research concepts makes the progress in the
field easily understandable. The enormous growth of information
since Brukner's time allows a much more detailed perspective on
some scientific problems. Or references can be used to highlight
similarity. Some aspects have not changed over time. Finally, the
book complements Bruckner's studies by adding the arguably most
interesting and certainly most relevant period, the past 120 years.
