Robert David (University of Wisconsin) Sack 
Progress [EPUB ebook] 
Geographical Essays

الدعم

‘The connection between geography and progress is fundamental, ‘ writes Robert Sack in the introduction to the present volume. Touching on both moral and material progress, six of the world”s leading geographers and environmental historians explore differing aspects of this connection. Thomas Vale discusses whether progress is discernible in the natural realm; Kenneth Olwig examines fundamental changes that occurred to the notion of progress with the rise of modernity, while David Lowenthal and Yi-Fu Tuan discuss recent geographical changes that have resulted in an increasing societal disenchantment and anxiety. Nicholas Entrikin looks at progress as ‘moral perfectibility, and its connection to democratic places, ‘ a theme which Robert Sack further explores by prescribing ways in which geographers and citizens can evaluate and create places that increase our awareness of reality in its variety and complexity.
