'Economics or Geography?'
Both economics and geography are important fields of study that offer unique perspectives on the world. Economics focuses on the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, while geography examines the physical features of the Earth and how they impact human activities. Ultimately, the choice between economics and geography depends on individual interests and career goals. Those interested in understanding global markets and financial systems may prefer economics, while those interested in environmental issues and spatial relationships may lean towards geography. Both fields offer valuable insights and can complement each other in understanding complex societal issues.

What is desertification and savannas in relation to geography and geography?
Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically as a result of drought, deforestation, or inappropriate agriculture. It is a significant geographical issue as it can lead to the loss of productive land and the displacement of communities. Savannas, on the other hand, are tropical grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs, and they are an important geographical feature in regions such as Africa, South America, and Australia. Understanding the distribution and characteristics of savannas is important in geography as it helps to explain the diversity of ecosystems and the impact of climate on vegetation patterns.

Geography and the Classical World : Unearthing Historical Geography's Forgotten Past
In the eighteenth century a new subject emerged that was to capture the interest and imagination of scholars and the educated public for the next 150 years.Called 'ancient geography' or 'classical geography', its focus was the geographical study of the ancient Mediterranean, in particular the worlds of ancient Greece and Rome. Geographers, explorers, classicists and historians all contributed to its rise, as it flourished in both Britain and America. Yet in the 1920s the subject began to decline, so that its story has been lost. This pioneering volume is the first full-length study to explore the emergence of classical geography and its role in both the geographical and classical traditions.The author begins with the expeditions sponsored or undertaken by the members of the Society of Dilettanti in the second half of the eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries.Expeditions by such figures as Richard Chandler, James Stuart and Nicholas Revett, Sir William Gell, Robert Wood and William Martin Leake, marked a new and more serious study of Greek and Near Eastern landscapes. At the same time, in post-Revolutionary America the Founding Fathers felt it important that Americans should know something of the history and geography of the ancient world, and leading figures such as Thomas Jefferson - a lifelong reader of the classics and a founding father of American geography - and Benjamin Franklin, ensured that classical geography became part of both the school and university curriculum.Professor Koelsch gives equal prominence to the story as it unfolded in both Britain and America.He explores the impact and influence of key figures and institutions over a period of almost two centuries.They range from William Ramsay, Edward Herbert Bunbury, John Linton Myres, Henry Fanshawe Tozer, William Gladstone, Edward Augustus Freeman, and Halford Mackinder in England, to Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Rush, Ellen Semple, and John Kirtland Wright in America. The author relates the part that classical geography played in the rise of British geography, through the Oxford School of geography, and in the story of the early American institutions such as the College of William and Mary, the University of Virginia, Harvard University, the College of New Jersey (now Princeton) as well as later universities such as the University of California, Cornell, Johns Hopkins and the University of Chicago. In recovering the trajectory of classical geography from its adventurous beginnings, through its heyday and later decline, the author restores this almost forgotten part of the geographical and classical tradition.The result is a work of outstanding scholarship that will interest historical geographers, classicists, historians and all students of the classical tradition.

Economic Geography
Economic geographers study and attempt to explain the spatial configuration of economic activities, including the production of goods and services, their transfer from one economic agent to another and their transformation into utility by consumers.The spatial configuration, which includes both the pattern of activities on the map and the relationships between activities occurring in different places, is the outcome of a vast number of distinct but interrelated decisions made by firms, households, governments and a variety of other private and public institutions.The goal of this book is to provide the student with a rigorous introduction to a diverse but logically consistent set of analytical models of the spatial decisions and interactions that drive the evolution of the economic landscape. The book begins by explaining fundamental concepts that are critical to all topics in economic geography: the friction of distance, agglomeration, spatial interaction, market mechanisms, natural resources and production technologies.The following sections cover major areas of inquiry including multiregional economies, location theory, markets for space and systems of cities.The final section synthesizes and builds on these topics to address two trends that provide particular challenges to economic geographers today: globalization and the emergence of the knowledge economy.
