Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 283 pp., b/w illusts., notes, index. Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880-1963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. His travels took him from Captain Scott's final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth, in a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War. Taylor's 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 Taylor's remarkable life. It explores what drove this 'long, lean, lanky' man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically. Codice articolo 4702

1st ed. Paperback large octavo, very good condition, black & white & sepia (brown-tinted) & colour text-photos, minor edgewear, autograph (author's written dedication title page). Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 283 pp. Carolyn Strange and Alison Bashford have written a biography of the great Australian academic (University of Sydney). Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880 - 1963) was a geographer, anthropologist and world explorer. They explain what drove this 'long, lean, lanky' man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically. His travels took him from Captain Scott's final expedition in Antarctica to every continent on earth. In a life that stretched from the Boer War to the Cold War, he sought to enlighten the public on the human relation to the environment. As a geographer whose work crossed into anthropology, he courted controversy and craved recognition. Today's preoccupations with climate change, the ascendancy of Asian nations, and the renewed threat of nuclear war, were all addressed by Taylor generations earlier. (Written autograph of Alison Bashford.). Codice articolo 26675
