Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Professor East discusses the vital relationship between history and geographical conditions. Drawing examples from ancient times up to the present, he demonstrates that a study of history must include consideration of the physical conditions under which an event occurs, and that "the particular characteristics of this setting serve not only to localise but also to influence part at least of the action." Topographical position, climate, distribution of water and minerals, the placement of routes and towns, and ease or difficulty of movement between districts and countries are among the factors which the historian must take into account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations of Geography History Every reader of history is aware that he must learn some geography, if he would understand what he reads. Comparatively few however, if one may judge from experience, seem to realize how much light geography throws on history. Geographical influences account for much that happens or has happened. Geographical knowledge affords valuable data for solving historical problems. At the same time human action alters the aspect of those things of which geography takes cognizance: man cuts canals and tunnels mountains, drains marshes and constructs artificial harbours, though it must be admitted that these things are trifles compared to the steady operation of geographical causes all history through. I have attempted to point out systematically how these causes work, first in general, and then in reference to the various countries of Europe. Obviously this can only be done in specimens: to do it fully would be to write all history afresh. The specimens given may however, I hope, suffice to call the attention of students of history to the modes in which geography operates, so that they may be ready to perceive its influence on whatever period or country they may be dealing with. It is plainly impossible to supply maps enough to exhibit in detail every geographical fact to which I refer, and every historical fact connected with them. I have therefore taken for granted that readers will consult their own atlases. The only exception made is in favour of two maps of Europe, so placed that they may be easily compared.

Download or read book Geography in Its Relation to History written by William Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography in Its Relation to History: A Lecture Delivered at the Birkbeck Institution I will not affirm that the relationship which geography bears to the records of human action in past ages offers the most attractive of the many aspects under which the subject may be regarded, though it would not be difficult, I think, to make out a strong case in support of such an assertion. Nor am I by any means sure that the historical relationships of geography are those that find most favour with professed cultivators of geographical science in the present day. There is a tendency, in some quarters, to speak of physical geography as the only geography worthy to be ranked as a science, and to regard other branches of the study as of inferior value, and as consequently entitled to little esteem. I hold this tendency to be founded upon an erroneous conception of what geography really is. And to involve an imperfect estimate of the place which physical geo graphy occupies (or rather should occupy) in the general scheme of geographical study. The truth is, that all geo graphy, if it be worth the name, is physical, or natural that is to say, is based upon a correct description of the earth's natural features and aspects, climates and productions. Physical geography is neither a new subject nor a separate subject, although the vastly increased and still increasing body of facts bearing upon the natural aspects and pheno mena of the globe, which have been accumulated within modern times, have formed the material from which ex tended generalizations, unknown to former ages, have been derived, and the relationships between geography and other branches of natural science more clearly established.

Download or read book Geopolitics Geography and Strategic History written by Geoffrey Sloan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines geopolitics by looking at the interaction between geography, strategy and history. This book addresses three interrelated questions: why does the geographical scope of political objectives and subsequent strategy of states change? How do these changes occur? Over what period of time do these changes occur? The theories of Sir Halford Mackinder and Nicholas Spykman are examined in order to provide an analytical narrative for five case studies, four historical and one contemporary. Taken together they offer the prospect of converting descriptions of historical change into analytic explanations, thereby highlighting the importance of a number of commonly overlooked variables. In addition, the case studies will illuminate the challenges that states face when attempting to change the scope of their foreign policy and geo-strategy in response to shifts in the geopolitical reality. This book breaks new ground in seeking to provide a way to understand why and how the geographical scope of political objectives and subsequent strategy both expands and contracts. This book will be of much interest to students of geopolitics, strategic studies, military history, and international relations.
Download or read book Geography History and Social Sciences written by Georges B. Benko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georges Benko «Societies are much messier than our theories of them» Michael Mann The Sources of Social Power 1 Towards a unified social theory Why are there communication problems between the different disciplines of the social sciences? And why should there be so much misunderstanding? Most probably because the encounter of several disciplines is in fact the encounter of several different histories, and therefore of several different cultures, each interpreting the other according to the code dictated by its own culture. Inevitably geographers view other disciplines through their own cultural filter, and even a benevolent view remains 'ethnocentric'. It was in order to avoid such ethnocentricity that Femand Braudel called for more unity among the social sciences in 1958 : «l wish the social sciences . . . would stop discussing their respective differences so much . . . and instead look for common ground . . . on which to reach their first agreement. Personally I would call these ways : quantification, spatial awareness and 'longue duree'». In its place at the center of the social sciences, geography reduces all social reality to its spatial dimensions. Unfortunately, as a discipline, it considers itself all too often to be in a world of its own. There is a need in France for a figure like Vidal de la Blanche who could refocus attention away from issues of time and space, towards space and social reality. Geographic research will only take a step forward once it learns to address the problems facing all the sciences.
Download or read book Geography written by Arild Holt-Jensen and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-09-24 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a fourth edition, this standard student reference has been totally revised and updated. It remains the definitive introduction to the history, philosophy, and methodology of human geography; now including a detailed explanation of key ideas in human geography's post-modernist and post-structuralist 'turns'. The book is organized into six sections: What is Geography?: an introduction to the discipline, and a discussion of its organization and basic research approaches, informed by the question 'what difference does it make to think geographically?' Foundations of Geography: an examination of geography from Antiquity to the 1950s, with a special focus on human/environment relation. Geography 1950-1980: a critical review of the development of geography as a spatial science. Paradigms and Revolutions: an analysis of paradigm shifts in geography, introducing students to key debates in the philosophy of science. Positivism and its Critics: a detailed discussion of positivism, critical theory, humanistic geography, behavioural geography, and structuralism. New Trends and Ideas developing critical responses: structuration theory, realism, post-structuralism, post-modernism, feminism and actor-network theory. This text explores complex ideas in an intelligible and accessible style. Illustrated throughout with research examples and explanations in text boxes, questions for discussion at the end of each chapter and a concept glossary, this is the essential student companion to the discipline.
Download or read book Rediscovering Geography written by Rediscovering Geography Committee and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-04-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As political, economic, and environmental issues increasingly spread across the globe, the science of geography is being rediscovered by scientists, policymakers, and educators alike. Geography has been made a core subject in U.S. schools, and scientists from a variety of disciplines are using analytical tools originally developed by geographers. Rediscovering Geography presents a broad overview of geography's renewed importance in a changing world. Through discussions and highlighted case studies, this book illustrates geography's impact on international trade, environmental change, population growth, information infrastructure, the condition of cities, the spread of AIDS, and much more. The committee examines some of the more significant tools for data collection, storage, analysis, and display, with examples of major contributions made by geographers. Rediscovering Geography provides a blueprint for the future of the discipline, recommending how to strengthen its intellectual and institutional foundation and meet the demand for geographic expertise among professionals and the public.
Download or read book The Association of History and Geography written by A. James Berry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Association of History and Geography We have not yet reached the stage when we can assume it is unnecessary to emphasize the dual relationship that the teacher occupies to both his subjects, the person and the thing, for there still lingers the tendency to put in the background a teacher's skill and methods, and to consider it sufficient if he is acquainted with the subject he proposes to teach. In other words, however much lip-service is given, in theory, to the need for "Child-Study", it is, in practice, constantly being overlooked. But the relationship, in teaching, cannot be dismissed as simply one even between pupil, subject, and teacher. There is the further relationship between the subject and its fellows. The formal object lesson, though valuable from the aspect of "sense" training, often proved in practice barren and unstimulating. In the presentation and examination of the object there was often an isolation which, even when it did not lead to real distortion, did not at any rate generate intelligent mental associations. It was with some relief, therefore, that teachers welcomed the wider conceptions involved in "Nature-Study", a subject which afforded as favourable a field as the object lesson for the training of the senses, but which, at the same time, presented things in their natural setting.
