Landscape and environmental change
In a professional life spanning some sixty years (1915–1975), Carl O. Sauer’s career accomplishments were unparalleled. Perhaps foremost, he created and led by example the Berkeley School of cultural and historical geography. The primary practitioners were his 38 doctoral students, followed by most of his more than 1000 “descendants” on the Sauer PhD tree. Add to this several hundred more adherents to the Berkeley approach, and we have the larges…

The Meanings of Landscape
Ancient Geography
Ancient geography conventionally refers to the geographic theory and practice developed and elaborated by the Greeks and Romans during the millennium from about 500 bce to about 500 ce . Many notable figures of classical Antiquity including philosophers, poets, merchants, military men, and travelers contributed to the geographic arts and sciences. Recent scholarship suggests that Greek and Roman geography's antecedents can be found in earlier Afr…

New Orleans and the Mississippi river
Le site et la situation de la Nouvelle-Orléans, ville d'entrepôt sur le fleuve Mississippi, le principal système fluvial de l'Amérique du Nord, constitue un cas idéal pour appliquer ce que j'ai appelé le point de vue "géotemporelle braudélienne". Depuis sa création au début des années 1700, la Nouvelle-Orléans et le fleuve Mississippi ont été intégralement connectés. Mais la relation a été variable. Une grande partie de cette variation provient d…
Sequent Occupance
Sequent occupance is a concept and methodology first proposed in 1929 by geographer Derwent Whittlesey. Designed to provide regional or chorological studies with a method to aid in comparison and generalization of chorographic data, the approach gained practitioners through the 1930s and 1940s with a decline by the 1950s. Rural settings were most popular initially, but the concept applied to the urban sphere has proven more durable. Occasional st…

Invasive species as 'natural hazards' in small island geographical and historical contexts
Although the role of invasive species in altering the environment in small island contexts is a well-recognised problem and topic in environmental history, including viewing invasive species as ‘natural hazards’, studies have been primarily focused on single islands or associated groups of islands, and usually within the scope of the past few centuries, or since the global expansion of European colonialism. In this paper, I expand the time frame …

Geographers and the theory and practice of return fieldwork
Fieldwork, especially in lands, is one of the time-honored hallmarks of professional geography, yet as Felix Driver (2000, p. 267) and others have noted, little attention has been paid to the specifically geographical dimensions of field-work [sic] or to its history within the discipline. In this article I will explore pieces of this history through the practice of return visitation to particular places, with an emphasis on the record of North Am…
Between “In Camp” and “Out of Bounds
The 100th Volume
This issue represents a landmark in the American Geographical Society's long history: It is the centennial number of the Geographical Review. First published in 1859, the venerable journal went through a series of name and format changes through the years. With its most recent, and enduring, name change in 1916 it moved forward into the twentieth century and now stands upon a proud publication record (Wright 1952,194-195). (1) We want to pause in…
Greater Louisiana connections and conjunctures
The place of New Orleans in the Greater Atlantic World has shifted significantly if not literally since its formal founding in the early eighteenth century. Long a favored site of human habitation and adaptation to Louisiana's coastal environments and a strategic mediation point between bayou, river, lake, and seaborne commerce and travel, the city's fortunes (and possible eventual fate) have been in part determined by its location – both in term…
A geografia histórico-cultural da Escola de Berkeley
No decorrer das últimas três décadas, a história ambiental se tornou um subcampo reconhecido com seus próprios clássicos, um grande número de monografias notáveis, um fluxo contínuo de artigos publicados e mais do que mil pesquisadores ativos em vários continentes, incluindo uma comunidade crescente na América Latina. Um olhar para além dos limites disciplinares da história mostra que há também outras tradições que se enquadram perfeitamente na t…
Humboldt in the Americas
No one would dispute that Alexander von Humboldt has long been a fixture in geography and its allied disciplines. Courses on the history of geography characteristically place him at the premodern pinnacle of geography and at the point of departure for the modern discipline. That Humboldt died in the same year that Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species appeared, 1859, can take on paradigmatic significance. Humboldt thereby becomes, by some acc…
Humboldt's Twenty-First-Century Currency
Over the past two centuries Alexander von and his multiple legacies have inspired episodic recognitions and assessments of varying intensities and durations. Word of his ascent of Mount Chimborazo in 1802 vaulted him into the consciousness of the greater European world, and he maintained a celebrity status therein for the next six decades. twin peaks of this long first phase of accumulated acclaim were 1859, the year of his death, and 1869, the c…
Alexander Von Humboldt's Image and Influence in North American Geography, 1804-2004
Alexander von Humboldt is universally identified as a key figure in laying the foundations for modern geography. His main sites of research and scholarly production were centered on Europe, Latin America, and Russia. He drew on global sources of geographical data and knowledge in constructing and producing his voluminous works. Although he only briefly knew North America firsthand-at the outset of his career, in the late spring of 1804-he maintai…

Dangerous Harvest
(Publisher-supplied data) The global drug trade and its associated violence, corruption, and human suffering create global problems that include political and military conflicts, ethnic minority human rights violations, and stresses on economic development. Drug production and eradication affects the stability of many states, shaping and sometimes distorting their foreign policies. External demand for drugs has transformed many indigenous culture…

Democracy in Council-Manager Government
FOR many years city managers and their form of government have been the darlings of the political science professors from coast to coast. In Public Administration Review of last summer, a Rackham postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan with wide experience in municipal research raised grave questions about the future for councilmanager government. It was charged that the plan often creates a political vacuum and that if the manager allo…

Human Geography of the American Tropics
For a decade or so after World War II, human geographers working in the American tropics found socio‐political conditions and resultant research topics little changed from those before the war. This was in contrast to the Old World tropics where decolonization processes and the demands of economic development and new nation building produced divergent research currents, For the first half of the period under review, the American tropics continued…
Uncommon Groundings
Fred Bowerman Kniffen's academic career started in the 1920s at a time when cultural geography in North America was getting underway. For more than 60 years, Kniffen played a prominent role in its formation and elaboration. His contribution centered on material cultural studies, particularly folk housing, and the patterns and processes of the diffusion of the cultural elements of ordinary people. However, Kniffen's legacy within contemporary cult…
