Far from dissolving, this effort demonstrates 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.
