| evolution of geographical thought notes: Geography Alexander B. Murphy, 2018-12-10 Ever since humans sketched primitive maps in the dirt, the quest to understand our surroundings has been fundamental to our survival. Studying geography revealed that the earth was round, showed our ancestors where to plant crops, and helped them appreciate the diversity of the planet. Today, the world is changing at an unprecedented pace, as a result of rising sea levels, deforestation, species extinction, rapid urbanization, and mass migration. Modern technologies have brought people from across the globe into contact with each other, with enormous political and cultural consequences. As a subject concerned with how people, environments, and places are organized and interconnected, geography provides a critical window into where things happen, why they happen where they do, and how geographical context influences environmental processes and human affairs. These perspectives make the study of geography more relevant than ever, yet it remains little understood. In this engrossing book, Alexander B. Murphy explains why geography is so important to the current moment. |

| evolution of geographical thought notes: Feminism & Geography Gillian Rose, 1993 Geography is a subject that throughout its history has been dominated by men; men have undertaken the heroic explorations that form the mythology of its foundation, men have written most of its texts, and, as many feminist geographers have remarked, men's interests have structured what counts as legitimate geographical knowledge. This book offers a sustained examination of the masculinism of contemporary geographical discourses. Drawing on the work of feminist theories about the intersection of power, knowledge and subjectivity, Rose discusses different aspects of the discipline's masculinism in a series of essays that bring influential approaches in recent geography together with feminist accounts of the space of the everyday, the notion of a sense of place, and views of landscape. In the final chapter, she examines the spatial imagery of a variety of feminists in order to argue that the geographical imagination implicit in feminist discussions of the politics of location is one example of a geography that does not deny difference in the name of a universal masculinity. |
| evolution of geographical thought notes: Geographical Thoughts in India Rana P. B. Singh, 2009 This book deals with roots of Indian geographical thoughts with reference to its historical base, cultural context and visionary message. As a consequence of long cultural history the resultant lifeworld in India converges like a drama and dance of space-time function with transference and transformation. In the passage of time emerged a metaphysical frame of thought, the varieties of heritagescapes, and simultaneously grown the senses to heritage ecology. Of course, attempts have been scanty but the richness always portrayed in literature and literary geography. Historical and cultural geographies in India have not caught that much attention in the academia; however on micro-level distinct attributes are interpreted in the recent literature. Going back to the ancient notions of nature theology, religioscapes and rituals have developed a complex network of belief systems in the Hindu traditions. In these traditions the motherly river Ganga serves as symbol, system and metaphor in the Indian culture. Continuity of cultural manifestations is actively maintained and continued in the Indian villages, where lives three-fourths of Indiaâ (TM)s population, and serve like a â ~place balletâ (TM). Indiaâ (TM)s catastrophic march on the road of development and technology is entangled with obstacles and socio-spatial gaps that need to be re-considered in the light of cultural background and historical legacy. All these issues are examined, emphasising dualistic and complimentary perspectives in the West and the East.

| evolution of geographical thought notes: World City Doreen Massey, 2013-04-23 Cities around the world are striving to be 'global'. This book tells the story of one of them, and in so doing raises questions of identity, place and political responsibility that are essential for all cities. World City focuses its account on London, one of the greatest of these global cities. London is a city of delight and of creativity. It also presides over a country increasingly divided between North and South and over a neo-liberal form of globalisation - the deregulation, financialisation and commercialisation of all aspects of life - that is resulting in an evermore unequal world. World City explores how we can understand this complex narrative and asks a question that should be asked of any city: what does this place stand for? Following the implosion within the financial sector, such issues are even more vital. In a new Preface, Doreen Massey addresses these changed times. She argues that, whatever happens, the evidence of this book is that we must not go back to 'business as usual', and she asks whether the financial crisis might open up a space for a deeper rethinking of both our economy and our society. |
| evolution of geographical thought notes: Rediscovering Geography Rediscovering Geography Committee, Commission on Geosciences, Environment and Resources, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council, 1997-04-11 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. |

| evolution of geographical thought notes: Paradigmatic Shifts in Geographical Thought Lalita Rana, 2020-01-01 In advancing disciplines like Geography, the methodological debate is a sign of health. In Geography, there has been extreme diversity of viewpoints on both philosophy and methodology with constant extension and also a shift in focus. The methodology of geography came under debate for the first time during the middle of twentieth century when the paper published by F.K. Schaefer, an American scholar, brought both the qualitative and quantitative revolution in geographic development. Shortly after this publication were discussed the paradigmatic shifts in a discipline by Thomas S. Kuhn, another American scholar, through his seiminal work in which he painted a picture of the development of science quite unlike that had gone before. In order to elucidate this process of development of science Kuhn prepared a model termed as the 'Paradigm of Science'. Distinct parallels may be sought between the historical evolution of scientific discipline as explained by Thomas Kuhn and the historical evolution of the discipline of geography. Seeking inspiration from the works of both of the great scholars mentioned above, the present book examines the evolution of geographical thought from the perspective of Thomas Kuhn. Two publications of mine (2008 & 2014) are on this line only. However, the methodological literature, to understand the philosophical background making possible this disciplinary growth, is too small. The purpose here is to explore and screen the growth and development of Geography under sequential methodological changes over time in the light of vanous paradigmatic shifts with the acknowledgement of crises and revolutionary phases of development in the discipline. Accordingly, the work identifies eight paradigmatic shifts intercepted by eight phases of crises in the discipline. |
| evolution of geographical thought notes: Approaches to Human Geography Stuart Aitken, Gill Valentine, 2006-01-27 Approaches to Human Geography is the essential student primer on theory and practice in Human Geography. It is a systematic review of the key ideas and debates informing post-war geography, explaining how those ideas work in practice. Avoiding jargon - while attentive to the rigor and complexity of the ideas that underlie geographic knowledge – the text is written for students who have not met philosophical or theoretical approaches before. This is a beginning guide to geographic research and practice. |
| evolution of geographical thought notes: Influences of Geographic Environment. On the Basis of Ratzel's System of Anthropo-Geography Ellen Churchill Semple, 2023-08-12 Ellen Churchill Semple's groundbreaking work, 'Influences of Geographic Environment. On the Basis of Ratzel's System of Anthropo-Geography,' delves into the intricate relationship between human societies and their physical surroundings. Published in 1911, Semple's book explores how factors such as climate, topography, and resources shape cultural and historical developments. Drawing inspiration from Friedrich Ratzel's anthropo-geography, Semple employs a meticulous and scholarly approach, blending geography, anthropology, and history to provide a comprehensive examination of the subject. Through detailed case studies and analyses, she showcases how various civilizations have been profoundly influenced by their geographic environment. Semple's writing style is academic yet accessible, making this book a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in environmental determinism and cultural geography. Furthermore, her innovative approach has contributed significantly to the field of geography and remains relevant in contemporary scholarly discussions. I highly recommend 'Influences of Geographic Environment' to readers seeking a deeper understanding of the nuanced interplay between humans and their natural surroundings. |

| evolution of geographical thought notes: Ancient Geography Duane W. Roller, 2015-08-27 The last dedicated book on ancient geography was published more than sixty years ago. Since then new texts have appeared (such as the Artemidoros palimpsest), and new editions of existing texts (by geographical authorities who include Agatharchides, Eratosthenes, Pseudo-Skylax and Strabo) have been produced. There has been much archaeological research, especially at the perimeters of the Greek world, and a more accurate understanding of ancient geography and geographers has emerged. The topic is therefore overdue a fresh and sustained treatment. In offering precisely that, Duane Roller explores important topics like knowledge of the world in the Bronze Age and Archaic periods; Greek expansion into the Black Sea and the West; the Pythagorean concept of the earth as a globe; the invention of geography as a discipline by Eratosthenes; Polybios the explorer; Strabo's famous Geographica; the travels of Alexander the Great; Roman geography; Ptolemy and late antiquity; and the cultural reawakening of antique geographical knowledge in the Renaissance, including Columbus' use of ancient sources. |
| evolution of geographical thought notes: American Geography and Geographers Geoffrey J. Martin, 2015 The rise of American geography as a distinctive science in the United States straddles the 19th and 20th centuries, extending from the post-Civil war period to 1970. American Geography and Geographers: Toward Geographic Science is the first book to thoroughly and richly explicate this history. Its author, Geoffrey J. Martin, the foremost historian on the subject and official archivist of the Association of American Geographers, amassed a wealth of primary sources from archives worldwide, which enable him to chart the evolution of American geography with unprecedented detail and context. From the initial influence of the German school to the emergence of Geography as a unique discipline in American universities and thereafter, Martin clarifies the what, how and when of each advancement. Expansive discussion of the arguments made, controversies ignited and research voyages move hand in hand with the principals who originated and animated them: Davis, Jefferson, Huntington, Bowman, Johnson, Sauer, Hartshorne, and many more. From their grasp of local, regional, global and cultural phenomena, geographers also played pivotal roles in world historical events, including the two world wars and their treaties, as the US became the dominant global power. American Geography and Geographers: Toward Geographical Science is a conclusive study of the birth and maturation of the science. It will be of interest to geographers, teachers and students of geography, and all those compelled by the story of American Geography and those who founded and developed it. |

| evolution of geographical thought notes: Geography Unbound Anne Godlewska, 1999 At the end of the eighteenth century, French geographers faced a crisis. Though they had previously been ranked among the most highly regarded scientists in Europe, they suddenly found themselves directionless and disrespected because they were unable to adapt their descriptive focus easily to the new emphasis on theory and explanation sweeping through other disciplines. Anne Godlewska examines this crisis, the often conservative reactions of geographers to it, and the work of researchers at the margins of the field who helped chart its future course. She tells her story partly through the lives and careers of individuals, from the deposed cabinet geographer Cassini IV to Volney, von Humboldt, and Letronne (innovators in human, physical, and historical geography), and partly through the institutions with which they were associated such as the Encyclopédie and the Jesuit and military colleges. Geography Unbound presents an insightful portrait of a crucial period in the development of modern geography, whose unstable disciplinary status is still very much an issue today. |

This will also be useful for those preparing for various competitive examinations. |
| evolution of geographical thought notes: Mapping Intellectual Building and the Construction of Thought and Reason Fathi Hasan Malkawi, 2020-09-01 The subject of this work is thought, a distinguishing characteristic of human beings that the Creator has dignified humankind with. The book attempts to provide an in-depth conceptualization of intellectual building. Man’s intellect is awoken by his/her surroundings, by his need to make sense of reality, his own existence, and a desire to know. How he articulates this reality to himself, interprets, and organizes information as it presents itself to his conscience, makes decisions, takes action, and draws conclusions based on whatever framework he gives value to, whether spiritual or other, is the subject of this book. The work reflects on many interesting aspects of human inner communication, including the workings of logic, and in today’s information age, the control and manipulation of information by others for personal gain. What is meant by the concept of ‘thought’? What place does it hold, and in what relation does it stand to the concepts of knowledge, culture, philosophy, literature, and fiqh (deep understanding, jurisprudence)? These are some of the issues addressed. |
