Geographers Volume 31: Biobibliographical Studies: Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 31

While seeking out a particular entry is the most obvious way to use these reference volumes, one of the first rewards of working through a complete volume is encountering the editors’ introduction. It would be quite understandable, given the labour that must be involved in preparing the essays for print, if the volumes were introduced by a very brief preface. Instead, each begins with a substantial and stimulating
prolegomenon. These add significant value and help to make the volumes much more than the sum of their biographical parts…The essays that follow…are all superbly executed.
