Geographers

About the Volume

The thirtieth volume of Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies adds significantly to the corpus of scholarship on geography's multiple histories and biographies with nine essays on figures from Britain, France, the USA, and Spain.

Contributions of the Geographers

Each was distinguished in his or her own scholarship and made distinctive contributions in specific fields — as historical, political, or population geographers, and, in one case, as a hydrologist-geomorphologist.

Shared Commitments

The subjects also shared a commitment to the educational benefits of geography and of geographical research that was rooted in a vision of geography as socially illuminating and individually life-changing.

Significance

Here is further rich testimony of the importance of geographers' lives to the lived experience of geography in practice.
