Geography, Yesterday and Tomorrow

This book commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Royal Geographical Society. The first part describes the considerable role played by the Society in the early development of geography as an academic subject in Britain. The second part consists of a series of articles by contributors distinguished in their various fields, surveying the recent progress made in each aspect of geographical study and research. Students and teachers of geography will find these papers useful as summaries, while others interested in exploration and the environment will be introduced to the theories available for classifying and analysing the physical landscape and man's interaction with it. All those interested in geography and geographical history
