core elements of a good education.\u003cbr\u003e Yet, many people don't know exactly what geography is.\u003cbr\u003e I hesitate before the question, “What is geography?”\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps we hesitate because of the scale of this question and the implications of a clear answer.\u003cbr\u003e Because geography is a discipline that deals with the world.\u003cbr\u003e Studying geography means studying the world, both near and far.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Geography seeks to describe and explain the world and the people who live in it. \u003cbr\u003eThere are several pitfalls to this undertaking, the most fundamental of which is how to learn about people in other places.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Geography is both modern and non-modern.\u003cbr\u003e Geography fosters the development of many specializations, but it is not a specific field in itself, but rather a comprehensive and integrative project.\u003cbr\u003e Geography's intellectual ambitions, like those of history, are absurdly vast.\u003cbr\u003e But we know that giving it up would be more absurd.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.59\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e History is generally understood to deal with the human past.\u003cbr\u003e But geography is broader than that.\u003cbr\u003e Geography is not simply concerned with viewing the Earth as a human habitat, but with viewing the world as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e Geography has always been interested in the natural processes that shape the Earth. \u003cbr\u003eThis exploration of nature is driven and directed by the need to survive, thrive, and find order in the world.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.85\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The two pillars of modern geography are environmental knowledge and international knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e But geographers have several more specific concerns, the most important of which are urbanization and mobility.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Geographic research cannot remain confined to libraries and laboratories.\u003cbr\u003e Geography is the study of our world, and it must go directly into the world.\u003cbr\u003e Geography wants to take children out of the classroom and into the streets and fields.\u003cbr\u003e I want to get people who are typing away at their keyboards out of their fluorescent-lit offices and into the real world, where they can feel the warm sun and cold rain.\u003cbr\u003e ---p.136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Geography is a pressing issue, and its interests and activities are central to understanding and addressing the most important crises of our time. \u003cbr\u003eThis challenge goes beyond simply teaching geography; it demands that geographical knowledge become part of all education and that geographic education be continuous and lifelong.\u003cbr\u003e In short, we need a “planet of geographers.”\u003cbr\u003e The reality that our actions are intertwined makes this need even more evident.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---p.204\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \",\"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e
