"I feel that geography teachers have a great social responsibility, and that geography teaching should have a moral - even a spiritual motivation. I don't mean that we should preach sermons... I hope that I can help young people derive some pleasure and satisfaction and interest from the diversity of humanity and the Creation as a whole, and to develop a feeling of the inter-dependence of the human species"
Ernest W (Bill) Young
Author of the classic 'A Course in World Geography' with J. H. Lowry (which I used when at school)
