Description: "Some say we live in post-modern times. Indeed, many schools now seem to be embracing a post-disciplinary approach to the curriculum. Geography itself has fragmented; struggling to find its identity, it is arguably 'lost in the post'. ... In the context of our collective need more fully to understand human occupancy of the Earth, geography in schools has a new role to play. [author's] lecture explores this, and examines the importance of a 'capability' approach."--Back cover.
Notes: "Based on an Inaugural Professorial Lecture delivered at the Institute of Education, University of London, on 23 June 2009."
