Book Description
Women are the exclusive focus of the 38th volume of Geographers. For the first time in the serial's history, the entire volume is devoted to important work of distinguished female geographers, amply demonstrating how these scholars' professional lives enrich the discipline's history. It also illustrates how reading and writing their biographies not only expands our understanding of geography's past, but points to its more diverse future. The collection includes biographies of Doreen Massey, winner of geography's 'Nobel prize', the prix Vautrin-Lud, for her remarkable contribution to geography and neighbouring disciplines which discovered the importance of space through her work; Helen Wallis, geographer and historian of cartography who for many years had charge of the UK's foremost collection of maps; Alice Saunier-Seïté, who applied her geographical training and formidable energy to teaching and educational reform in France; Isabel Margarida André, who lived through a turbulent political period in her native Portugal and meticulously investigated its effect on women and political geography; and the many women who helped to create the UK's first Geography department - the University of Oxford's, School of Geography - including Fanny Herbertson, Nora MacMunn, Marjorie Sweeting, Mary Marshall, Barbara Kennedy and other women geographers who are memorialised in a group article.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oceania: A Supplementary Geography During recent years Australia and the islands of the Pacific have attracted much attention. In these times of hunger for land, Australia is one of the few areas toward which settlers with limited means can turn. This is because the country is very sparsely populated, which in turn is the natural result of light rainfall in most of the continent. The people of Australia have faith in their country, and faith in themselves. Through irrigation vast tracts have been reclaimed. Cities have sprung up in the desert in response to the rich deposits of gold and other forms of mineral wealth. Telegraph lines cross the continent, and railroads are steadily opening up new areas. Australian cities are as progressive as any in the world, and government and education are abreast of the times. To a larger extent than is true of any other continent, Australia is being developed by the people of a single nationality, English.
