Peter Gould, a prominent, award-winning geographer who admits to having a low threshold for boredom, offers a collection of essays that reflect his eclectic research and provocative thinking. The topics range widely and include the diffusion of AIDS, mental maps, development themes in Africa, postmodernism, and the practices of teaching and writing. Becoming a Geographer expands on Gould's influential ideas and contributions to the field. His thoughts are especially valuable for what geography offers the world of learning and its capacity to help resolve urgent problems of the day.

Most inspirational and informing geography text ... ever!,
By Jancsi "ianaoas" (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Becoming a Geographer (Space, Place, and Society) (Hardcover)
This book covers all aspects of a famous geographer's life within the geographic discipline. Not only is it well written, it confronts issues within the discipline head on, regardless of any agenda ridden consequences from other geographers. This book provides an overview of what Peter Gould learned on teaching, learning, diffusing, and analyzing geographic principles and methodologies. Without a doubt, this is the best geography text I ever purchased, and it is has reinvigorated and uplifted my spirits in my personal pursuit to become a professional geographer. The how, why, when, and what of a geographer's life work and achievements are documented in this easy to read, nonesoteric, text. Must reading for any undergraduate thought class! This coming from a recent BA graduate. You will not regret owning, much less rereading, this book!
