The Geographer's Art

In The Geographer's Art, Peter Haggett considers the purpose and practice of his subject. He describes the attractions, opportunities and responsibilities of life as a geographer and addresses the basic questions facing the discipline. The result is a unique perspective on geography and geographers, illustrated throughout from the author's research and experience. Peter Haggett examines every aspect of geography, theoretical and applied, physical and human, to discuss the key issues and central importance of this multi-faceted subject. Few books can have conveyed so convincingly and vividly the intellextual challenge of working in the field and the vital relevance of the discipline to contemporary human and enviromental problems. --- from book's back cover
