Influencing the rest of the world

The work of the Geographical Association and its Presidents has spread around the world, and while creating the blog I have come across their influences.

This article is an interview from the Geography Teachers Association of Victoria (GTAV).

Following that, he had a remarkable career around the world.

He returns to discussing some other well known names - including Molly Long.
