Bøker av Innes M. Keighren

In eighteenth - and nineteenth-century Britain, books of travel and exploration were much more than simply the printed experiences of intrepid authors. This book takes readers on a journey into the nature of exploration.

Highly controversial and written by one of America's first female professional geographers, 'Influences of Geographic Environment' was considered by some a monument to Semple's scholarship and erudition, whilst for others it was conceptually flawed. Innes Keighren explains why the book was encountered differently and aroused the passions it did.
