Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of studies on individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography and geographical thought. Studies describe the education, life and work of each geographer, and discuss the influence and spread of their academic ideas. In addition, each study includes a bibliography, list of sources and a summary chronology of the geographer's life, as well as a photographic portrait. The book is completed by a general name/subject index and an additional cumulative index of biobliographies to date, including the current volume.
