Geographers synopsis

Geographers: Biobibliographic Studies, Volume 36 focuses on Britain's twentieth century and France in the 19th and 20th centuries. Six articles on individual geographers complement a collective essay describing the construction of a French school of geography.

Of Britain, the life of Sir Peter Hall, one of the most recent geographers and a man widely known outside discipline, was put together with the memoirs of Bill Med, which made the rich geography of the Nordic countries come alive to the geographers and others in the world English. Michael John Wise and Stanley Henry Beaver, who left their mark by building the institutions in which they practiced academic geography and teaching; and Anita McConnell, whose geo-training was an art chart of her museum and studies on the history of science.

From France, we find Andre Ménier's autobiography quoted in a collective essay on the first five professors of geography at Clermont-Ferrand. These intellectual biographies collectively show the geography and geographers deeply affected by the broader historical events: the impact of war, especially World War II, and the formation of a post-war society.

It shows the value of a geographical grant in clarifying local conditions and in planning national circumstances, and as a basis for local, national and international friendship.
