'''Geography and the Human Spirit' is a pilgrimage into the workings of one of geography's most conceptual and yet focused thinkers.''--'Landscape Journal' ''Not only represents a comprehensive survey of the history of Western humanism, but also offers a series of important challenges for all geographers to consider.''--Tim Unwin, 'Geographical Journal' ''A vitally creative and imaginative effort to parse meanings associated with geography and the human spirit.''--'Professional Geographer' ''This book will be widely recognized as a landmark in geographical scholarship.''--David M. Smith, 'Ecumene' ''This is an original and complex piece of work in the history of geographic and humanistic thought. It brings back the forgotten excitement of intellectual adventure. It is, in short, a 'tour de force' of scholarship.
