An introduction to the nature of geography through a survey of some of the central problems, concepts, methods, techniques and applications of contemporary geographic analysis of man’s cultural environment. Two overriding themes are emphasized: the man-land theme, which focuses on the study of the impact of man through time on the landscape, and the locational analysis theme, which focuses on the study of spatial structure and dynamics of socio-economic systems. No prerequisite. 3 hours lecture/discussion (fall and winter terms) Instructors: Preston, Sommerville
