About this deal

Edited by Yi-Fu Tuan’s former students, this book contains a plethora of humanistic essays that demonstrate the discipline’s breadth in four parts (“Landscapes of Dominance and Affection,” “Segmented Worlds and Selves,” “Moralities and Imaginations,” and “Cosmos versus Hearth”). Some physical geographers realize that “hard” science still includes humanistic tenets and advocate a need for infusing humanistic geography into that field. This trait notwithstanding, the essays display humanistic geography’s wide-ranging applicability and interconnectedness of people with their landscape. Still relevant to the 21st-century humanistic geography debates, Smith 1984 (cited under Social Sciences) attempts to mitigate humanistic geography’s perceived weaknesses by outlining several strategies to “do” humanistic geography.

The topic for which I have received the most input over the past year has been publishing in the AAG journals. We have also covered art, biology, business, communications, computer science, English, engineering, fashion, history, law, marketing, mathematics, performing arts, philosophy, politics, psychology, sociology, chemistry, economicsand physics. To increase your chances of pursuing this career, it is essential to gain some relevant work experience, through paid or voluntary work, and a master’s degree in sustainable developmentmay be useful. Despite this, Marshall reflected on how when he was reporting, he felt in danger “most of the time”. Wheat was once commonly grown in New England, despite Zeihan’s insistence that it was a “hard no” there.Marshall considers that immigration from the Sahel to Europe will continue, that wars may break out in Ethiopia's neighbours due to their reliance on the country's water, that oil is running out in Saudi Arabia and that Britain is seeking new alliances post- Brexit.

To survive they must “become a world power”, and to do that they must turn east – to Mackinder’s Heartland. Many of us still think of space as ‘out there’ and ‘in the future’,” says Marshall, a well-known presence on Sky and BBC as well as a conflict reporter from more than 40 countries. Other members recommended that one way to “jump start” a new journal is to acquire, and build upon, an existing journal. The journalist and bestselling author has 30 years’ experience writing about international diplomacy and foreign affairs, reporting from 30 countries and covering 12 wars throughout his career.Everybody agreed, no, we won’t put weapons of mass destruction up there, which means nuclear weapons. When Putin did precisely that, invading a Ukraine he could no longer control by quieter means, Marshall greeted it with wearied understanding, deploring the war yet finding it unsurprising. It seems much more likely that the unravelling of globalisation won’t pitch us backward into the 19th century, but into a future full of unprecedented hazards. If students have any allergies, medical conditions or access requirements please inform us of these at the time of booking, so we have time to make any adjustments required.

Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to serve as AAG President and for the support you have shown. Ancient Greece, Egypt, Persia, Assyria, the Indus valley, Mesoamerica and Rome were all near plate edges. This outlook openly guides Russian thinking, with Putin citing “ geopolitical realities” in explaining his Ukraine invasion. you also get to enjoy every new issue of Geographical each month going forward in both print and digital formats.The confluence of these two events prompted me to propose in my October column that the AAG sponsor a second interdisciplinary journal of interest to physical geographers. As Ye Peijian, head of China’s lunar exploration programme, recently said: ‘If we don’t go there now, even though we are capable of doing so, then we will be blamed by our descendants. Attendees of the special session expressed considerable support for experimenting with alternative formats to help increase the visibility of individual oral and poster presentations. To demonstrate this, Marshall begins with a recap of how we first got to the Moon, and the motivations for doing so.
