Far from dissolving, this effort demonstates the ongoing
vitality of geography as a profession. In a world increasingly
sensitive to the problems of people and resources, geography has
constantly provided the basic information for its sister sciences,
economics, political science, sociology and demography, This book
turns, attention to geography itself, in an incisive survey of the
development of the discipline as a science.
"A Hundred Years of Geography" draws together the threads of a
century of progress, from the first scientific explorations and
mappings to present-day trends toward specialization and
generalization. It contains a synoptic view of the development of
the various aspects of geography, showing how the field has been
differentiated from associated disciplines and how it has
differentiated and specialized within itself.
The book also offers two important reference tools: a
bibliography of the important geographical works published
throughout the world, and biographical sketches of ninety important
geographers. It is informative, stimulating, urbane and civilized
reading, as well as being an excellent introductory text and
reference work to recent scholarship in the field of geography.
