While the discipline of geography has had much to say about how such environmental transformations occur, few studies have focused on the lives of geographers themselves, their ideologies, and how they understand their field. This edited collection illuminates the social and biographical contexts of geographers in postwar Britain who were influenced by and studied under the pioneering geomorphologist, A. T. Grove. These contributors uncover the relationships and networks that shaped their research on diverse terrains from Africa to the Mediterranean, highlighting their shared concerns which have profound implications not only for the study of geography and geomorphology, but also for questions of environmental history, ecological conservation, and human security. 606 $aHistory 606 $aWorld history 606 $aHistorical geography 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000 606 $aHistorical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J22010 606 $aEnvironment Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X36000 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aHistorical geography. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 14$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aHistorical Geography. 615 24$aEnvironment Studies. 676 $a914.2 702 $aMartin$b Max$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDamodaran$b Vinita$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aD'Souza$b Rohan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483511603321 996 $aGeography in Britain after World War II$92846796 997 $aUNINA
