In EPISODE FORTY TWO we start our two-episode Summer Reading Series with a reading and discussion of John Kirtland Wright’s 1946 Association of American Geographers (AAG) Presidential Address where he outlines his ideas for geosophy. The word is a compound of ‘geo’ (Greek for earth) and ‘sophia’ (Greek for wisdom). It is the study of geographical knowledge from any or all points of view. Joining us is Dr. Geoffrey Martin, leading Geography historian and AAG Archivist to help put this canonical text in context.
