Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1938, this book was the first to cover the history of geographical thought. It discusses the development of medieval earth-knowledge as it was affected, on the one hand, by the prevailing Christian and Muslim ideologies and, on the other, by the results of human enterprise on land and sea.
