Published under the auspices of the International Geographical Union, this is the 24th volume in 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 geographers education, life, and work and discusses their influence and spread of academic ideas, and 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.

The 27th volume in the Geographers Biobibliographical Studies is a collection of essays on the geographical work and significance of eight notable geographers who were active between the late 16th century and the early 20th century. Editors Lorimer (geography, U. of Glasgow) and Withers (historical geography, U. of Edinburgh) and nine contributing writers offer background, biographical information, significant professional contributions, and extensive bibliographies on each of the eight geographers. The featured scientists range from Tycho Brahe to Kate Marsden and Jiro Yonekura. Essays explore early modern geography, cartography and astronomy, geography and late Renaissance humanism and religious politics, radical political geography in the 20th century United States, cultural-historical geography in India and Japan, and more.

Lorimer (geography, U. of Glasgow, UK) and Withers (historical geography, U. of Edinburgh, UK) offer biographies of ten geographers that focus on the link between state politics and geography. A group of geographers from Europe, the US, and Japan profile physical geographers in Britain and the Netherlands; a geographical publicist from late nineteenth-century America; a French population and regional geographer; a Japanese political geographer; a geographical editor and pioneering woman geographer from early twentieth-century Britain; and a Scots-born explorer of early nineteenth-century West Africa. They include Marion Newbigin, Jacqueline Beaujeu-Garnier, Gudmund Hatt, Peter Heylyn, Tibor Mendol, and Koji Iizuka. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The series this volume is a part of continues establishing a history of the discipline of geography by profiling seven geographers who are all men, and all professional academics whose careers were forged during the 20th century. Among them are a humanistic geographer, a quantitative geographer, a pioneer of modeling in medical geography, several regional geographers, and an experimental poststructuralist. They are Alan Grant Ogilvie (1887-1954), Pierre George (1909-2006), Philippe Pinchemel (1923-2008), Leslie Wilson Hepple (1947-2007), Andrew Thomas Amos Learmonth (1916-2008), Denis Edmund Cosgrove (1948-2008), and Allan Pred (1936-2007).
