The newest volume of GBS provides thoughtfully chosen portraits of six geographers from the UK, Hungary, and New Zealand that inform the reader about their lives, academic trajectories, and achievements. These biographies of people like you and me confirm a narrative turn in the studies on the history of geography and point out the necessity to open up more space for storytelling to understand what defines geography as a plurivocal discipline. * Jörn Seemann, Associate Professor of Geography, Ball State University, USA *
