Riassunto

In the 1920s, Grano÷ began to develop an original methodology of landscape geography based on the idea that the real object of geographical research should be the environment as perceived by the senses and regions constructed on the basis of these perceptions. From this starting point he created the doctrine called "pure geography." First published in German (1929) and then in his native Finnish (1930), it is regarded by many geographers as one of the classic works in the field. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"As other geographers have noted, this book was decades ahead of its time. This English translation provides us with one of the essential foundation pieces for gaining a better understanding of contemporary geography." -- Arnold R. Alanen, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Recensione:

"Written in 1929, the ground-breaking classic work has never appeared fully translated into English before the edition. Granö describes a methodology of examining the landscape as perceived by the senses... A delightful and stimulating read." -- Orion
