Geographers

Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 36

Edited by Elizabeth Baigent, University of Oxford, UK & André Reyes Novaes, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This volume focuses on 20th-century Britain and 19th- and 20th-century France. Six essays on individual geographers are complemented by a group article which describes the building of a French school of geography. These intellectual biographies collectively show geography and geographers profoundly affected by wider historical events: the effect of war, particularly the Second World War, and the shaping of post-war society. They show the value of geographical scholarship in elucidating local circumstances and in planning national conditions, and as a basis for local, national, and international friendship.

Geographers

Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 37

Edited by Elizabeth Baigent, University of Oxford, UK & André Reyes Novaes, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This volume focuses on the concept of distinction in geography. Through the lives of six geographers working in Brazil, North America, Europe and Réunion, it investigates what distinction consists of, how we identify and celebrate it and how it relates to quotidian practices in the discipline. Highlighting the continuing importance of biography and the International Geographical Union in recording and assessing distinction, this volume also considers the relevance of personal networks for the circulation and translation of distinguished geographical knowledge, and how this knowledge can underpin applied projects and critical appraisal of geographical scholarship.
