  • The Power of Place

    Harm De Blij, Harm J De BlijBOOKThe Power of Place2008

    "In recent years a spate of books and articles have argued that the world today is so mobile, so interconnected, and so integrated that it is, in one prominent assessment, flat. But as Harm de Blij contends in The Power of Place, geography continues to hold billions of people in an unrelenting grip. We are all born into natural and cultural environments that shape what we become, individually and collectively. From our "mother tongue" to our fath…

  • European Union at the Crossroads

    Harm J De BlijARTICLEEurasian Geography and Economics2006Cited by: 1References: 2

    In a framing comment embracing the preceding four papers devoted to the enlargement of the European Union in 2004, a prominent American geographer reviews some of the major problems confronting the European continent. The paper, which begins with the author's view of Europe's dilemma in late 2006, covers a number of geographic implications of the May 2004 expansion. Noted are Russia's overland access to Kaliningrad, the addition of ca. 8 million …

  • The role of geography in public debate

    Open AccessAnn B Murphy, Alexander B Murphy et al.ARTICLEProgress in Human Geography2005Cited by: 35References: 28

    Many geographers work on matters of great relevance for the issues facing society, but geography is rarely invoked in public debates over matters of contemporary concern. As a result, geographical perspectives are often missing from public discourse, and outmoded conceptions of geography are reinforced. This forum considers the importance and challenge of addressing this state of affairs. Four distinguished geographers who have been involved in d…

  • Rural Geography-A Comment

    Harm J De Blij, John M HunterARTICLECanadian Journal of African…1969

    Several themes recur in the papers contributed to this volume. There are geographers who take the bull by the horns; they have their own view of what constitutes 'rural' geography, and they proceed to what they consider to be the major issues at hand. In so doing they use a variety of approaches aimed at a wide range of goals, and in the process they cite a literature that is similarly diverse. And then there are others, whose first concern is wi…
