The author describes the activities of the explorers and map-makers of Renaissance and early modern Europe; the role of geography during the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the Darwinian Revolution; and the interactions between geography and empire building in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, the development of geographical thought and practice is portrayed against the broader social and intellectual context of the times.
