Since the 1980s, geography as an academic discipline has become
more and more reflective, asking the key questions "what are we
doing?" and "why are we doing it?" These questions have, so far,
been more enthusiastically taken up by human geography rather than
physical geography and this volume aims to redress that balance.
Written and edited by an international group of physical
geographers, this text comprises a collection of the writers'
thoughts which reveal personal motivations and look at tensions in
the worlds of meaning in which physical geography is involved. How
are the meanings of the physical environment derived? Is the future
of physical geography one where the only, or at least the dominant,
meanings are framed in the contexts of environmental issues?
Covering a diverse and lively selection of topics, the contributors
of this book offer guides to the contemporary debates in the
philosophy of physical geography, and introduce the reader to its
wider cultural significance.
