The Road from Mandalay: Towards a Geographical Philosophy
SOME years ago, in 1962, Sir Isaiah Berlin,3 in attempting to define the field and purpose of philosophy, maintained that the history of human knowledge was essentially the process of formulating questions that occurred to mankind in such a way that they could be allocated into two 'viable' categories, viz. those questions whose answers ultimately depend on the data of observation, the empirical-and those that could be answered by pure calculatio…
The Role of India in the Diffusion of Early Cultures
During the last three decades considerable archaeological evidence has been produced for prehistoric and early historic India which demands the attention of historical geographers?particularly those interested in problems of longterm cultural diffusion.

In the macro-regional structure of Africa it…
