This volume of
Geographers Biobibliographical Studies brings together essays on four Frenchmen, a Czech, and three Englishmen. The lives of our subjects extend from the late Enlightenment and the era of  »polite science » in Regency Britain to the first decade of the 21st century. These geographers and their studies are linked not only in their regional expertise – from Brazil, French Indo-China to Scandinavia and South Africa – but also by their commitment to the development of geography as a science and as a discipline. Here, in different settings and at different times, we can see how the lived experience of geographers » lives shaped the contours of the subject.
