Griffith Taylor
Thomas Griffith Taylor (18801963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. His travels took him from Captain Scotts final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth, in a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War. Taylors research ranged from microscopic analysis of fossils to the races of man and the geographic basis of global politics. This timely biography is a copiously illustrated account and analysis of Griffith Taylors remarkable life. It explores what drove this long, lean, lanky man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically.
Griffith Taylor
Drawing upon an extensive collection of private papers, the author brings to life the colourful story of Taylor, Canada's premier geographer. He founded Canada's first Department of Geography at the University of Toronto, and Australia's first Geography Department at Sydney University. Taylor also had the distinction of being chief geologist on Scott's historic 1910-1912 Antarctic Expedition.
Taylor Papers
The collection consists of Taylor's research notes, typescripts and galley proofs for his books on geography, urbanography and similar subjects. It also includes correspondence with Taylor's family and colleagues, photographs and offprints of his articles in connection with Marie Sanderson's biography, Griffith Taylor: Antarctic Scientist and Pioneer Geographer (1988).
Australian Contributions to Strategic and Military Geography
Drawing from military geography’s spatial roots, its embrace of dynamic systems, and integration of human and biophysical environments, this book helps in understanding the value of analyzing patterns, processes and systems, and cross-scale and multi-disciplinary ways of acting in a complex world, while making the case for a resurgence of strategic and military geography in Australia. Here, leading experts demonstrate that geography retains its relevance in clarifying the scale and dynamics of defense activities in assessments of the international, regional, national, and site impacts of changes in physical, cyber and human geographies. The cases presented show Australia contributing to a growing strategic and military geography.
Geographers
An annual collection of studies of individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography and geographical thought. Subjects are drawn from all periods and from all parts of the world, and include famous names as well as those less well known: explorers, independent thinkers and scholars. Each paper describes the geographer's education, life and work and discusses their influence and spread of academic ideas. Each study includes a select bibliography and brief chronology. The work includes a general index and a cumulative index of geographers listed in volumes published to date.
