ABSTRACT

This final section provides a retrospective on the intellectual paths that have led to the present historical m om ent in geography, as well as some prospective thoughts about the discipline. Dangerous as such projects are, and fraught with possibilities both for misspecification o f trends or o f facile interpretations o f extremely complex directions, these chapters manage both to ‘round o ff’ the present volume, and to set a major part o f the agenda for re­ making the future.
