Quotes by Alexander B. Murphy  (?)

“Geography is an academic discipline and subject of study that explores – and promotes critical thinking about – how the world is organized, the environments and patterns that exist on the ground or that humans create in their minds, the interconnections that exist between the physical and human environment, and the nature of places and regions. Geography, in short, offers a critically important window into the diverse nature and character of the planet that serves as humanity’s home.”
Alexander B. Murphy, Geography: Why It Matters

“Studies of the configuration of the coastlines on either side of the Atlantic led the sixteenth-century Flemish geographer Abraham Ortelius to propose that the continents might have drifted apart – an idea about “continental drift” that only came to be widely accepted in the latter part of the twentieth century.”
Alexander B. Murphy, Geography: Why It Matters
