First sentence: During the career of Gerald Blake, political geography has undergone a major renaissance which has been reflected in the changing agenda of the academic discourse.
Description: This festschrift by thirty of Blake's colleagues and former students reflects the topics and regional preoccupations Professor Blake has kept returning to throughout his long career, especially the Middle East, maritime boundaries, and the relation between borders and demographics. Several of the authors extend his work in such areas as Arctic jurisdiction, environmental issues of transboundary water management, and geographic information systems (GIS).
