Geography and History

Informationen zum Autor Alan Baker is an internationally renowned historical geographer who in 1998 was honoured by France as a Chevalier dans l'Order des Palmes Academiques for his contribution to the field. Klappentext Alan Baker considers locational geographies and spatial histories! environmental geographies and environmental histories! landscape geographies and landscape histories! and regional geographies and regional histories. Seeking to bridge the "Great Divide" between history and geography! Baker identifies basic principles relating historical geography not only to history but also to geography! a reworking which signifies a "new beginning" for this scholarly hybrid.

Alan Baker considers in turn locational geographies and spatial histories! environmental geographies and histories! landscape geographies and histories! and regional geographies and regional histories.
