Tang's original propositions have far-reaching consequences for our knowledge of the human sciences in that period.\" -- Joseph Vogl * Humboldt University of Berlin *\u003cbr\u003e\"This clear and compelling volume investigates the rise of geographic thought in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through a variety of discourses .... \u003ci\u003eThe Geographic Imagination of Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding study that generates new and important insights into the period around 1800.

It derives validation particularly from the work of Humboldt and Ritter and from the conceptualization of Clarence Glaken, who maintained that 1800 was both terminus and commencement for two distinctive sets of thought concerning humankind, the Earth, and its progress. An imaginative, well-composed, and thought-provoking work intended for specialists.\" -- \u003ci\u003eCHOICE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  List of Illustrations\txxx  Acknowledgments\txxx  Introduction\t000  Part One\tThe Emergence of Modern Geography\t000  Chapter 1\tThe Reorganization of Geographic Knowledge around 1800\t000  Chapter 2\tThe Aesthetic Origin of Modern Geography\t000  Chapter 3\tThe Philosophical Origin of Modern Geography\t000  Part Two\tBetween Man and the Earth\t000  Chapter 4\tOrientation: Figurations of Oriented Space \t000  Chapter 5\tDwelling in Space: Figurations of Cultural Landscape \t000  Chapter 6\tDwelling in Time: Figurations of Geohistory\t000  Epilogue\t000  Notes\t000  Bibliography\t000  Index\t000","brand":"MK - Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577499128151,"sku":"9780804758390","price":56.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804758390.jpg?v=1746095585","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-geographic-imagination-of-modernity-9780804758390","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
