This book potentially fits as a piece of a broader introduction to geography course in the general sense, as it provides interesting descriptions and preludes into more detailed discussions. . . . An upper-level or graduate course might use this work as well, to begin discussions or deeper implications of these revolutions or revolutionaries. . . . Kerski has accomplished in this work an easy-to-use, accessible reference that captures developments in geography quite handily. In each entry, the passion and drive of geographers to better understand our world shines through. * Journal of Geography * This is an excellent reference for middle school and high school students, and for general readers interested in geography. * Booklist * The volume is recommended for collections supporting geography, GIS, and cartographic research. Librarians will need to decide whether to place this in the reference area or the circulating collection due to the readability of the material. Some patrons may want to read the volume as a good, general introduction to many lines of inquiry within geography rather than use the volume in a quick consultancy manner in ready reference. * ARBA * Summing Up: Highly recommended. High school, community college, and undergraduate students; general readers; professionals/practitioners. * Choice *
