Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 26: Geographers

Editat de Professor Charles W. J. Withers, Dr Hayden Lorimer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2007
This twenty-sixth volume of Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies brings together essays on leading figures in time geography and regional theory, on GIS, on regional, cultural and political geography, on scriptural geography, historical geography and methodology, and on African exploration. Each essay engages with the individual's contribution to geography, their works and their lives and the intellectual and social contexts in which they worked and which helped shape them. In addition - and to mark the new co-editorial pairing leading the series - the volume has an essay on the history of GBS, on the importance of biographical work in the history of geography and on issues to be addressed by the scholarly communities engaged in promoting this vital area of geographical research.

Recenzii

Title Mention in The Times Higer Education, September 2009
"Lorimer and Withers offer biographies of ten geographers that focus on the link between state politics and geography. A group of geographers from Europe, the US, and Japan profile physical geographers in Britain and the Netherlands; a geographical publicist from late nineteenth-century America; a French population and regional geographer; a Japanese political geographer; a geographical editor and pioneering woman geographer from early twentieth-century Britain; and a Scots-born explorer of early nineteenth-century West Africa. They include Marion Newbigin, Jacqueline Beaujeu-Garnier, Gudmund Hatt, Peter Heylyn, Tibor Mendol, and Koji Iizuka." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
