Reviews

Halford Mackinder stands astride geography as perhaps no other geographer ever has done, or likely will.... Gerry kearns gives us here what must be the definitive biography of Mackinder as the man, academic, teacher, and imperialist.... Almost every page contains new insights, and the book repays close and multiple readings.
