What is the history of geography in the United States? How have
Americans been taught to see the world around them? Susan Schulten
addresses these questions by examining how ideas and images shaped
popular understandings of world geography from 1880 to the 1950s.
This was a critic al period in American History, it saw the US
evolve from a relative isolationist nation into an international,
economic superpower. Schulten examines four institutions of
learning that produced some of the most influential sources of
geographic knowledge in modern history: maps and atlases, the
National Geographic Society, the American university and public
schools. This book provides a history of geography and cartology
and their place in popular culture, politics and education.
