All Possible Worlds: A History of Geographical Ideas

by Geoffrey J. Martin, Preston E. James

This is the only reference to explore the history of geographic thought, from the ancient Greeks to the present day. It focuses on the differences between pre-Darwin and post-Darwin thinking and the changes that have taken place. Features extensive references, an index of names with brief biographic comments and four new chapters on the new geography of Canada, Sweden, Japan and the United States (from mid-century to the present).

[Renee · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book attempted to cover the history of geography, but missed a few key cultural geographers and failed to cover more recent geographers. In the future, I hope a newer edition separates the different eras into volumes and goes deeper than a few sentences or paragraphs on each geographer and his or her cohorts.
