Description

The Geographical Imagination in America, 1880-1950 by Susan Schulten is a rich and fascinating history that explores how Americans began to see the world around them. From the end of nineteenth-century exploration to the explosion of geographic interest before the dawn of the Cold War, this book tells the story of U.S. attitudes toward world geography.

Schulten examines four influential institutions - maps and atlases, the National Geographic Society, American universities, and public schools - to provide an engaging study of geography, cartography, and their place in popular culture, politics, and education.

This book offers a unique perspective on the development of geographic thought in America, shedding light on how our understanding of the world has evolved over time.
