Mentions of the GA above.
Also of Hugh Robert Mill and Halford Mackinder.
Halford John Mackinder (1861-1947), a man of dynamic personality and unlimited energy, was a true professional, strongly influenced by German thought in geography, deeply concerned for detailed regional study and at the same time an ardent student of world political geography. Having an Honours degree in History, he turned to geography to explain much that hQ had learned of past time and, having presented a challenging paper at the Royal Geographical Society in 1887 on the "New Geography", he was an obvious choice for the new Readership at Oxford, where he proved to be a dynamic influence.
