There and Then, Here and Now: transmitting the resonant past

Too many teachers of historical geography have either decided, or have been obliged by institutionally constrained curricula, to limit the exploration of disciplinary parallels and contrasts. Geography and history builds upon Alan Baker’s considerable research experience, 40 years of inputs into undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and an exceptionally well-informed purview of international scholarship. It identifies four broad, overlapping geographical discourses in the subdiscipline—location, environment, landscape, and regional geography—and cautions that few specialist practitioners operate exclusively within one of those sectors. This convenient device serves to template the bulk of the volume, which concludes with a reflective prospective. The result gives the best approximation to a formal text in the trio under review here, and although geography students may find it more immediately accessible the need is probably greater in a few of history’s more provincial corners. The first of Baker’s substantive sections, ‘Locational geographies and histories’, emphasises the centrality of cartographic representations in historical geography, Australian Geographer, Vol. 36, No. 1, pp. 117–124, March 2005
