Bøger af Anne Buttimer

Following on from the author's renowned 'Geography and the Human Spirit', this book not only provides an account of the development of geographic thought in Sweden, but also provides a narrative thread, which traces continuity in both cognitive styles and professional practices of geography in general.

In Geography and the Human Spirit, Buttimer ranges widely from Plato to Barry Lopez, from the Upanishads to Goethe, taking an interdisciplinary look at the ways in which human beings have turned to natural science, theology, and myth to form visions of the earth as a human habitat.
