Geography's Inner Worlds
Pervasive Themes in Contemporary American Geography
Rutgers University Press
Twenty-six leading American geographers meditate on the themes that unify contemporary geography. They emphasize the concepts and methods that run through all geography's sub-disciplines and give it a distinctive place among both the natural and social sciences.
Prepared under the sponsorship of the American Association of Geographers for the International Geographical Congress 1992, these insightful essays on the character of the discipline and its future will be required reading for every student of the field.
Ronald F. Abler is Executive Director of the Association of American Geographers and Professor of Geography, Pennsylvania State University
