What is geography? Is it any more than maps and the absolute location of various physical features? How does geography impact history (and culture, and the economy)? How can geographic concepts and inquiry be used as part of education for democratic living? Does geography determine destiny? These are questions we would like you to be considering as you work your way through our consideration of the school subject of geography.
The links below will be updated as we go through our exploration. Please let me know if you would like others added!
