KIMBLE, GEORGE H.T. Way of the World
George Grady Press, 1953. Hard Cover. Good/Good. Dust jacket edge wear, pages slightly toned, minor shelf wear. "Geography is not what it used to be - the description of the earth's surface, ignoring man, its chief inhabitant. In the 1952 Rushton lctures Dr. Kimble present a fascination and dynamic picture of what twentieth-century geography really is: the study of man 'brought down to earth.' The modern geographer is concerned with more than just the earth. He studies the relationship between men and their specific environments. He is concerned with the way in which man - the architect of communities, the artificer of economies, the originator of customs, the guardian of creeds, man the destroyer, the explorer, the creator, and the conservator - has fashioned those environments to suit his comfort and convenience. Aove all, the geographer is interested in the cultural consequences of that fashioning in human society, the 'living tether' that binds man to earth.".
