ABSTRACT
Musicians, artists, mathematicians, writers, even geographers, all undertake periods of self-training in certain, essentially technical, tasks. If one is a university student in the English tradition, the highly constrained and specialized course in geography has little to do with education, except as certain bits and pieces provide one with opportunities to think and perhaps follow up your thinking along lines not laid down by the curriculum. Education, true education for the author, liberates and if one can't grant him that the author is not sure where one and the author go from this point. In other words and even in a book like this, the author is not going to extol geographic education as the be all and end all of life, but simply point to it as a part of a much greater, and actually lifelong, task. One thing is certain: geography tomorrow is not going to be the same as geography today.
