Alan Baker considers locational geographies and spatial histories, environmental geographies and environmental histories, landscape geographies and landscape histories, and regional geographies and regional histories. Seeking to bridge the "Great Divide" between history and geography, Baker identifies basic principles relating historical geography not only to history but also to geography, a reworking which signifies a "new beginning" for this scholarly hybrid.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Baker has produced an admirably concise and clearly written survey of the major conceptual and methodological developments in British (largely English) and American historical geography--together with those in France--since the inception of this enterprise in the early twentieth century." - Lindsay Proudfoot, Reader in Historical Geography
Book Description
History and Geography is the first book for over a century to examine the full range of the relations of history and geography. The distinguished scholar Alan Baker considers in turn locational geographies and spatial histories, environmental geographies and environmental histories, landscape geographies and landscape histories, and regional geographies and regional histories. He explores the territories of historical geography and and geographical history, focusing mainly on the work of North American, British and French historians and geographers, but also considers scholarly contributions from throughout the world, and from cognate disciplines.

Richard Evans, in his powerful 'defence' of his history against its attack by postmodernism, claims that the 1960s saw 'the invasion of the social sciences into history in Britain' and that in the post-war years in France the Annales historians aimed to make history far more objective and scientific than ever before by 'incorporating the methods of economics, sociology and especially geography into their approach to the past' (Evans 1997: 38-9).
