A fluent companion to a richly-diverse, ever-changing discipline, it is indispensable for all students of physical geography.
Physical Geographers can learn the history of physical geog
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Many physical geography instructors provide no history of, or detail the prospects for, the discipline they instruct in. This is by far the best scholarly attempt to provide a synopsis of the possibilities for physical geographic research: where it was, and where it CAN go. The bibliography is outstanding. Highly recommended as a supplement to American Intro. Physical Geography courses (for motivated majors) even though it is written for the British university. It may help breath life back into a neglected subject that the authors believe has great promise for examining past, present, and future global environmental change.
