Auteur :
BUTTIMER, A.

Description :
A renaissance in geographical awareness, now apparent in the growing concern about environment and sustainable development, reveals the importance of improved connections between human and physical branches of the field. This new millennium invites a re-membering of cholarly enquiry on humanity's relationships to environments across the entire surface of the earth. In this context, some of the pioneering ideas of Alexander von Humboldt warrant particular attention. - (AJC)
