His B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. were all conferred by The University of Chicago. Geography comprises a bewildering number of facets. Like biophysical geography, human geography is composed of many specialties. For example, economic geography considers how mankind makes a living. The topic can be subdivided further, variously focussing upon agriculture, manufacturing, trade, transportation, or other areas of economic activity.
Cultural geography is another broad subfield of human geography.
The subject has now come to include all applications of the idea of culture to geographical problems. The investigation of such collective groups in their areal differentiation and interrelations is termed social geography. This term, long applied in Europe, is increasingly being applied in the United States as well. Inevitably, it overlaps cultural geography. Political geography examines political phenomena in their areal context.
