First sentence: The famous French geographer Vidal de la Blache once observed that 'man and his environment are more intimate than a snail and his shell' while the great British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder, using even quainter imagery, remarked that 'man is part of his own environment, as cheese mites are part of the cheese'; that reciprocal relationship between culture and nature is worked out and embodied in the landscape.
