Physical Geographers can learn the history of physical geog

Many physical geography instructors provide no history of, or detail the prospects for, the discipline they instruct in. This is by far the best scholarly attempt to provide a synopsis of the possibilities for physical geographic research: where it was, and where it CAN go. The bibliography is outstanding. Highly recommended as a supplement to American Intro. Physical Geography courses (for motivated majors) even though it is written for the British university. It may help breath life back into a neglected subject that the authors believe has great promise for examining past, present, and future global environmental change.
